Dave Cornish enters his second year leading the NFA program following a 17-5 mark in his inaugural season. Cornish’s team advanced to the state quarterfinal round, too. Prior to arriving at NFA, Cornish coached ECC-rival Ledyard High School for 10 years, leading the Colonels to five straight division titles and one ECC tournament title. Cornish, who also served as an assistant coach at Three Rivers Community College for two years, spent 16 years in the New London High School program, working under both Craig Parker and Ralph Roggero. During his time in New London, the Whalers won six state championships and posted three undefeated. Cornish also worked with two future NBA players – Tyson Wheeler and Kris Dunn. Cornish has run numerous youth camps and been involved in AAU programs, too.
