Pat Rady, who began his high school varsity basketball coaching career at Bainbridge in 1964 and now has won 700 games, will be honored for the accomplishment and serve as the featured speaker at the 96th annual Bainbridge High School Alumni Association banquet on June 26 at the Bainbridge Community Building.

Rady, who is the current varsity basketball coach at Cloverdale High School, won his first game coaching the Pointers on Nov. 14, 1964 in the old Bainbridge gymnasium against his high school alma mater Roachdale.
His 700th win came earlier this year with the Clovers on Feb. 25 at Eminence. Rady was a teacher and coach at Bainbridge for five years from 1964 until 1969 when the school was closed and became part of North Putnam High School.
He also coached varsity basketball at Winchester, Southmont, Shelbyville and Terre Haute South.
He and his wife of 43 years, Margaret, reside in Terre Haute. They have two grown children and two grand children.
