Stonington - Mike Reyes has resigned after six seasons as boys' basketball coach at Stonington High School.

Reyes and his wife Allison welcomed their second child in May, and Reyes said Tuesday it was in his best interest to step away at this time to devote more time to his family.

"When you look at the amount of time you put into it during the season - at least to do things the right way - it takes away from my family, which isn't right," Reyes said. "And it's the offseason, too, with summer leagues and fall leagues ... it all adds up."

Reyes led the Bears to the Eastern Connecticut Conference Medium Division title and to the state semifinals in 2008. He also led the Bears to the ECC tournament championship game in 2011.
