New Head Coach for D-R Girls Basketball

Michaela Deady will serve as the new head coach of the Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School Girls Varsity Basketball team. 

The high school’s athletic department made the announcement on August 6.

“Coach Deady’s passion for this team, the student-athletes, and the entire DR community is palpable,” said Athletic Director Matt McKinnon.  “Her leadership will ignite a new era of girls basketball at D-R.  With her experience, character, and vision, she’s exactly the kind of coach who will shape a successful and lasting program.  She fully embodies the #WeAreDR mantra.”  

“Coach Deady is an amazing educator, coach, and role model in our building, this opportunity is well deserved,” Principal Dustin Demers noted. “We are excited to see her continue to empower our student athletes to excel both on and off the court.” 

“Over the past two seasons as an assistant coach, I’ve had the opportunity to build relationships with our student-athletes and gain a deeper understanding of both the challenges and the potential within our program,” said Deady, who is entering her seventh year teaching math at the high school.

She has served as an assistant coach with the girls basketball program for the past two seasons and is also involved in the volleyball program and student leadership as a class advisor.

 “I’m incredibly honored and excited to be named head coach. Our goal is not just to compete, but to grow together as athletes and as people—on and off the court,” Deady added.  “I’m looking to establish the program with a focus on fundamentals, accountability, and a strong team culture.”
