He replaced a Connecticut baseball legend. Then Dave Werkhoven built a legacy of his own

Dave Werkhoven, who took over as baseball coach at Shepaug in Connecticut after the death of his mentor Ted Alex, built a remarkable legacy of his own, winning three state titles and 342 games. Werkhoven passed away on November 3, which was notably the same date as Ted Alex's birthday. His career stands as a tribute to both his own coaching excellence and the influence of the legend he succeeded.
