Catherine McAuley High School has hired Bill Goodman as its head Varsity Basketball Coach, McAuley’s Athletic Administrator Joe Kilmartin announced on Friday, June 3.

“Bill’s proven ability to lead talented athletes, his coaching background and personal character made him the correct choice for McAuley at this time.  I believe his overall experience will insure that McAuley basketball and its student athletes will continue to prosper and grow.”

Mr. Goodman comes to McAuley from Greely High School where he served as Varsity Coach for three years and led the Rangers to the Western Maine Finals twice and the Semi-Finals this past year.  Before heading to Greely, Goodman had been a long time assistant coach at Deering High School.

Coach Goodman replaces Amy Vachon, who is now an assistant coach at the University of Maine.  Amy was Coach Goodman’s assistant for two years at Greely before leading McAuley to the State of Championship this past winter.

Mr. Goodman lives in Falmouth with his family and also coaches the Deering golf team.

Congratulations to the McAuley Lions: the

Girls’ Class A State Basketball Champions and

recipients of the

Good Sportsmanship Award!

The McAuley community is bursting with Lion pride!
