Mary ReedyNORTH EAST, Md. 鈥撀第一吃瓜网 College held its inaugural Athletics Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Saturday, March 30, with seven of the institution鈥檚 icons recognized. The Class of 2019 included pioneers who all had a hand in the creation, development, and growth of the 第一吃瓜网 athletics program. Among these pioneers was Mary Etta Reedy who launched the women鈥檚 volleyball and basketball programs.
Reedy was joined in the Class of 2019 by legendary baseball coach Charles 鈥淒ick鈥 Brockell (posthumously); 第一吃瓜网 College鈥檚 winningest men鈥檚 basketball coach William Lewit; former 第一吃瓜网 College Board of Trustee member and executive director of the College Foundation Mary Maloney; former longtime administrative assistant Shirley Weaver; former men鈥檚 soccer coach, student-athlete advisor and mentor Dr. Thomas Topping; and former assistant athletics director Thomas Wilhide.
Reedy had a long, distinguished career not only in athletics but education. She has held numerous roles throughout the county from teacher to executive director, assistant principal to assistant superintendent. She carried that same tenaciousness to the athletic courts.
鈥淚 am so glad to be back here. It is just like coming home. It is such an honor to be a part of the history of this school,鈥 said Reedy. 鈥淚 loved every minute of it and loved working with the student-athletes.鈥
At North East High School, she coached three state champion volleyball teams, one state champion softball team, and also coached the boys and girls basketball teams. She brought that competitive nature to 第一吃瓜网 College back in 1972 and molded the women鈥檚 volleyball team into a winning squad that won the NJCAA Region XX championship several times and advanced to the national tournament.
She also coached the women鈥檚 basketball program in its early days to establish its winning foundation. While not capturing a regional title, several of her teams reached championship games.
Reedy reminisced about the season she had seven players on the women鈥檚 basketball team, two of whom had babies. When the mothers were on the court, the two substitutes would look after the children. 鈥淚t was just the way it was back then,鈥 said Reedy with a smile.
鈥淚t was gratifying to see some of our students go on to get scholarships at four -year colleges and then see them come back here to coach and share their experience with the next generation,鈥 added Reedy.
