DEDHAM, Mass. — Make that another title, and another season at Nobles for Tom Resor.
On Sunday, Nobles beat Williston, 3-1, for the NEPSAC girls Elite 8 championship, Resor's 11th title as coach. It was the finishing touches on a 27-0-4 season for Nobles.
The longtime coach of the Bulldogs announced to his team this week that he will be returning for another season behind the bench. He previously said before the season that this year would be his last.
"Just this week I decided," Resor said after Nobles beat Williston, 3-1, on Sunday for the NEPSAC girls Elite 8 championship. "I mean, I love doing it."
Resor will still be retired from his full-time college counseling job, shifting his focus to coaching completely.
"Really with just the winter months, when you boil it down, it's not a long season," he said. "So, I thought it would sort of be a nice way to stay a part of Nobles for another year, see my colleagues and coach some great kids."
Part of what factored into the decision was alleviating pressure from his players going into the tournament.
"I didn't want to put pressure on the kids, like if they didn't do it, you know, that they had let me down or something," Resor said. "The bottom line is, it's a fun group to work with, and I love doing it. They're going to let me do it another year."
