Legendary High School Coaches Ann (Ash) Zelesky and Carol (Blute) Ryan created basketball and softball dynasties at St. Peter-Marian High School from 1977 through 1989. Ann and Carol, as Head Coach and Assistant Coach, respectively, tallied the following records:

 

Basketball  

7 District Titles - 1 State Title

Record: 262-41

​

Softball

9 District Titles - 5 State Titles

​

A scholarship has been established for Worcester County high school female scholar-athletes

in Ann and Carol's names. The Foundation was created as a token of  appreciation for all the lessons that they taught their players, the Guardian Gals, in sport and life.
