Foley bids football a fond farewell

Through heat, rain, and snow, Waconia head football coach Pat Foley has been on the sidelines of Waconia football fields. He has seen wins, losses, state tournament trips, and games won or lost in the final seconds. But after a quarter-century of celebration, heartache, and everything in between, Foley is retiring from the game.

On Dec. 21, an informal reception was held in the Waconia High School commons to celebrate Foley’s 25 years of coaching Waconia football. People from all corners of Foley’s life turned out for the event including family, current and former players, staff members, coaches from Waconia, and even a few from opposing teams.
