Longtime former Naugatuck High School boys soccer coach Art Nunes, center, was honored Sept. 24 during the Naugatuck Education Foundation's annual golf tournament. Nunes was honored for his dedication to the community, to the hundreds of players he coached and to the sport of soccer. State representatives David Labriola, R-Oxford, and Rosa Rebimbas, R-Naugatuck, presented Nunes with a state proclamation. The tournament was a fundraiser for NEF, a nonprofit organization that works to improve local public schools and also gives grants to teachers every year to fund unique educational programs that are not funded in the annual budget.
