Culver Modisette

|
 |
In 1996 Coach McCarthy pulled off one of the greatest coups in Connecticut lacrosse history when he convinced Culver Modisette to become an assistant coach at SHS.
As Defensive Coordinator, Culver works exclusively with that end of the field. The 1999 defensive numbers are a testament to his knowledge and dedication. His "D" unit allowed an average of only 4.7 even-strength goals per game while "killing-off" 80% of man-down penalties!
A Dartmouth College grad, Culver was named Secondary School Lacrosse Man of the Year in 1971 and Connecticut Lacrosse Man of the Year in 1990 by the C.H.S.L.A.
He is also president of the Conn. Valley Lacrosse Club. He and his wife Norma live in Somers.

Wayne Nolan

Wayne Nolan joined the Somers High School coaching staff in 1994. But even before that time he played an integral role in the program's development.
A former president of the Somers Lacrosse Association, Wayne is also the father of Jay, a two-time All State Somers lacrosse player. In the heat of the battle, you can always see Coach Nolan as he manages to keep the team focussed and controlled.
"Coach Nolan is critical to our overall success. Without his stabilizing influence, we would not have had the success we've had" says Ken McCarthy.
Wayne was also a member of the `98 USA Grand Masters Lacrosse team that participated in the World Games.
He and his wife Mary Jane reside in Somers
