It was through Emmons that the Chieftains' program took off. At the time of his retirement in 2011, Emmons was the third-winningest coach in Massachusetts high

school soccer history with a combined record of 576-101-70 and one Division 2 state championship over his 39-year career. Salem News Gianna Addario Staff Writer May 5, 2015

Emmons was Morse's JV coach. When the head coaching job opened up in1972, he was the perfect fit. Salem News Mike Grenier staff writer Aug 3, 2011

11/2017 Lenny Emmons on how he recruited players: The other Masco sports varsity team coaches required the boys to have their hair cut short. Emmons had long hair himself. He made it clear that you didn’t have to cut your hair short to play on the soccer team. As a result he got more boys to play

soccer. In addition he scouted out and recruited the best athletes from the other Masco sports to play soccer.

Some of the politics…the field they played on, etc… It all became easier as they won more and more games… Complete interview with Lenny Emmons here:

Nov. 16, 1983 --TOPSFIELD, Mass. -- The Masconomet Regional High School boys' soccer team has been barred from playing out the season after team members reportedly celebrated a playoff victory by dousing each other with champagne.

The regional school committee unanimously voted to end the season because the players violated school rules prohibiting alcohol use.

The incident was not related to the recent suspension of a football player and soccer player when they failed to pass a breathalyzer test after a fistfight Nov. 5.

The soccer team incident occurred two days earlier, when a champagne bottle reportedly appeared on the field after Masconomet beat North Andover, clinching the Cape Anne League championship for the third straight year.

The school board's decision came one day before the team's final game in the division playoffs. A victory in that game would have placed Masconomet in the playoffs for the state championship.

One player originally was to be disciplined, but the regional school board decided Monday to terminate the season -- a move which has won the support of many parents.

A team spokesman, senior Gary Balentine, said Tuesday the soccer team apologized for causing 'a very fine school to suffer unneeded embarrassment.'

He said the soccer players agree that their actions were 'improper,' but they never intended to drink the champaigne.

'The champagne was used as a beverage to be shaken, squirted and poured over our heads, not to be drunk,' Balentine said.

He said the team felt the school board's decision was 'an overreaction and injustice.'

The parents of the soccer players issued a statement saying teachers, administrators and families 'must work together to prevent sending mixed messages to the students about the use of alcohol by minors.'
