COLCHESTER ? Bacon Academy boys basketball coach Kevin Fennell has resigned after six years at the helm of the Bobcats.
Fennell?s wife recently had the couple?s second child.
?I wanted to make sure I got to spend some time with him,? said Fennell, who sent in his letter of resignation two weeks ago. ?It wasn?t an easy decision to make, but it was one I knew I had to.?
The 40-year-old Fennell, who teaches at Johnston Middle School in Colchester, coached at Bacon for the last 15 years, serving as an assistant under girls coach Dave Shea for nine years before taking over the boys program. ?
The Bobcats finished 13-7 last year, including a win over eventual Class S champion Granby.
