Press release from North Haven High School Athletics

Bob DeMayo is calling it a career as the head coach of the varsity baseball team at North Haven High School. Coach DeMayo announced his retirement to the members of the North Haven varsity baseball squad on Aug. 8. With more than 900 career victories, DeMayo finishes his 64-year tenure as the winningest coach in the history of high school baseball in Connecticut.

“I have tried to teach my players the many levels of this marvelous game, fine-tuning their skills for the basics and, when possible, introducing the intricacies, which can result in a victory when you have no right to the win,” DeMayo said.

During his illustrious coaching career, Coach DeMayo led North Haven to five state championships, 19 Housatonic League titles, two Southern Connecticut Conference titles, and numerous division championships.

“I will take with me wonderful memories of athletes who have played for me, amazing and supportive assistant coaches, and administrators,” said DeMayo. “And my family has always been super supportive and my wife, Bette, has been by my side, cheering me on, my biggest fan by far.”
