Things get emotional as Dr. Ron Butcher is greeted by alumni before his final home game coaching for the Keene State College Men’s Soccer team on Saturday, Oct. 26. After earning his degree from rival Plymouth State College, Butcher has endeared himself to KSC ever since he arrived in 1970, amassing 595 victories, 31 post-season tournament appearances and a conference-best record of 84-19-9. Perhaps the biggest legacy Butcher leaves is off the field. His former players say they will use the life lessons he taught them forever.
