Roach Retires in June After 38 Memorable Years at Old Lyme

March 29, 2013 by admin

Region 18 Athletic Director Rob Roach is retiring in June after 38 years in Lyme-Old Lyme Public Schools as both a Social Studies teacher and Athletic Director.  He leaves the small school as one with a strong and well-respected athletic heritage, one that really starts with Roach himself when he scored the game-winning goal for the boy’s soccer team in 1966 that brought Old Lyme its first state championship.

Click to read an article about Roach by veteran sports writer Vicki Fulkerson and published in The Day today.
