A longtime coach at Eastridge High School in Irondequoit is retiring after a long and successful career.

Linda Adams is retiring after 40 years as the field hockey coach.  During those 4 decades, Adams won more than 400 games, 10 league championships, and 5 regional titles.

She said after her last game Thursday night that it's going to be hard to walk away - but, it's time.

"I always say that the next season starts the first second after sectionals are over," said Adams.  "I know I'm not going to have a chance to work with this batch of girls that are coming up.  I feel I'm going to miss something, but I think it is time to hang up my whistle."

Adams is going out on top with a victory.  In her last game as coach, Eastridge beat Brighton, 1-0.
