Dreams Can Come True

Assistant Coach Mary Gleason has been named the Head Coach of Houston Baptist University! She will have her work cut out for her, as HBU has recently entered the ranks Division I athletics.

If there is anyone ready for a challenge it is Mary. Mary is a basketball journeyman. She has played at the highest level in college and in Europe. She has worked tirelessly without fanfare for three great teams: NYU, Princeton and Dartmouth. She knows this business because she has walked the walk. No short cuts for this one. She got this opportunity the old fashion way ... she earned it.

Mary is smart, hardworking and a “pro.” Mary is breath of fresh air in this silly world of college athletics because her concern is the team and not self promotion. She will have to push the HBU program uphill for a while, but she has all the skill and strength she will need. HBU is lucky to have her.

I am so grateful that Mary’s her long journey to her own program came through Hanover and landed her back home in Houston. Clearly, dreams can come true ... if you come to Hanover.

-Coach Wielgus
