Caroline Reedy-Berks Catholic

Bob Birmingham has accomplished a lot in 33 seasons as a head basketball coach. He’s won five Berks County championships and three District 3 titles. Birmingham reached another milestone on Friday at the KSA Tournament in Orlando. Berks Catholic defeated Roosevelt High School of Oregon 49-12 giving Birmingham his 600th career victory! Senior Caroline Reedy explained why he has been so successful over a long period of time. Birmingham spent 22 years at Holy Name before being named the head coach at Berks Catholic. He’s (600-293) overall. Reedy is averaging a team-high 12 points per game for the (4-2) Saints. The 5’9 G/F poured in 23 points earlier this month against Oley Valley. Reedy came up big in the Berks County championship last season. The all-county selection finished with 19 points in a 55-45 win over Wyomissing. That was Berks Catholic’s third county title since 2017. We talked about the Saints’ recent trip to Walt Disney World. Reedy told me that it was a great bonding experience, especially with three freshman on the varsity roster. Sydney Corado, Madison Langdon, and Molly McFadden are all getting significant playing time. Reedy added that it’s beneficial to play teams from outside of Pennsylvania. She also revealed her favorite ride at Disney World. Berks Catholic has one of the top shooters in the state in Caraline Herb. “She’s like a machine,” said Reedy. Herb led the county with 60 3-pointers last season. The 5’7 junior guard knocked down twelve in one game! That performance vs. Reading in February tied the state record. Reedy is excited to take on Gov. Mifflin on Tuesday. The Mustangs were the Division 1 champs last season. Reedy enjoys the competition in Berks County. Plus, I found out about her pets and whether or not they get along.
