A Class Act Departs: Brady Moves On
Coach Dave Brady informed his returning players yesterday that he was taking a new job in the Everett school system and unable to continue as Girls Head Basketball Coach in Melrose.
With Assistant Rob Ferrante at his side, Brady led the Lady Raiders to three Division II North titles, 7 consecutive Middlesex League titles, and 10 consecutive post-season tournaments. Brady helped coach to prominence All-Scholastics Quiana Copeland, Shannon Kirwan, and reigning Middlesex League MVP Sheylani Peddy. This season he reached the 200 win plateau at Melrose. Melrose Girls have achieved 157 wins against just 11 losses in the past 7 seasons, going 90 and 6 in the past four.
Brady's philosophy centered around aggressive man-to-man defense and the transition game, emphasized at all levels of the Melrose developmental program. He also has run a successful summer coaching clinic, "In the Zone", and inspired numerous young ladies in Melrose to pursue basketball as a passion.
