Bethel High School boys soccer head coach Bob Hamlin achieved a significant career milestone on Monday evening, securing his 500th victory as a coach. The Bees defeated Graham High School with a final score of 4-1 in the contest that marked this historic accomplishment.
This achievement places Hamlin among an elite group of coaches in Ohio’s high school soccer landscape. According to Bethel Athletics, he now ranks as the third-winningest boys soccer coach in the state’s history, a distinction that underscores his sustained excellence and commitment to the sport over many years.
The victory was fueled by strong offensive performances from multiple players. Senior Reynald Rincon led the scoring effort with three goals, while teammate Samir Mamatov contributed the opening goal of the game. The athletic department emphasized that such a milestone represents far more than statistics alone, reflecting instead years of dedication, leadership, and the positive influence Hamlin has had on countless student-athletes throughout his tenure.
The Bethel soccer program will continue its season with an upcoming match scheduled for August 25, when the team hosts Emmanuel Christian Academy at home.
