On Saturday, The Wreckers defeated the Danbury Hatters as Coach McFarland earned his 250th win as head coach at Staples High School!!! Coach has built the best baseball program in the state from the ground up and the players are truly grateful for his tireless work turning his boys into better ball players, but more importantly better men. Congrats on 250 Coach, lots more to come!!!
