Fred Mooney was HBHS athletic director and coach he is now serving the Lord as head coach at Marquette Catholic High School in Michigan City. We were so happy for him.
Vickie and Fred
We are so Catholic at FBCH Fred could go there and not skip a beat. We have virtually the same Bibles. The original Douay and the original King James have the same 80 books and Nearly the same textual additions. Catholics are very happy using the KJV as they are almost identical. FBCH is so close to being Catholic it's scary.

Garletts Accepts Assistant Superintendent Position at Greencastle; Mooney Promoted to Head Coach
Following Garletts? resignation, assistant coach Fred Mooney was promoted to head coach.
Mooney brings a wealth of coaching experience to the head table. He wore numerous hats in his 35 years at Hammond Baptist High School. Mooney served as athletic director all 35 years in addition to a 16-year stint as head boys? basketball coach (410-106), an 11-year run as varsity football coach (51-37), two seasons as the junior varsity basketball coach (27-3), and 11 seasons as a junior high basketball coach (152-19). Over his three-plus decades with the Swordsmen, Mooney collected 640 wins.
The Hammond native retired from Hammond Baptist in March of 2011 ? but returned to the game later that calendar year as an assistant coach on Garletts? staff at Marquette Catholic.
?It?s every athletic director?s dream to have such a high-caliber person capable of making this transition so smooth. Fred?s character and values align precisely with what we?re trying to do here at Marquette. His coaching acumen is the cherry on top. We could have scoured the entire state of Indiana and not found a better candidate than Fred,? Collignon said.
Mooney is a 1978 graduate of Hyles Anderson College and a proud husband to Vickie. The two have been married for over 40 years and have four children: Ruth, Rachel, Timothy, and Todd. They also have seven grandchildren: Reagan, Brit, Lucas, Olivia, Connor, Reese, and Mathew.
?Winning is important and you always want to put your kids in a position to succeed; that?s my goal. And it starts by winning their hearts. I want to build solid relationships. When it all shakes out, basketball is just a game, but the character traits last a lifetime,? Mooney said.
Here is Fred and his team. Fred is in the back row 4th from the right.
