Bishop Ford H.S., Park Slope, assistant girls’ basketball coach Mary Gillespie, pictured at right far right, announced she will retire from coaching after nine years with the Lady Falcons. Gillespie ends her career on the highest note as Bishop Ford recently captured its first-ever N.Y.S. Federation Class ‘AA’ basketball title. Before Bishop Ford, she ran the CYO basketball program at Holy Name parish, Windsor Terrace, for over 20 years. “What a way to end a coaching career!” she said.
