In basketball, Reed coached seven years, from 1976 to 1982 and had four conference championship teams, three district champions, twice won regionals and quarterfinals and the 1976 team won the semi- finals.

Reed’s basketball coaching record is 109-51 for a .681 winning percentage overall, with a 64-20 record in the West Michigan Conference. Reed’s 1976 team averaged 64.2 points per game, still a record at MCC and the 1979 team averaged 60.0 points per game.

Reed was the first softball coach at Mason County Central and her team won the first conference championship when the conference sponsored girls’ softball as a sport. Reed’s teams would go on to win the first three WMC championships in softball.

Reed attended high school prior to Title IX and while her desire was to play sports, that opportunity was not available to her at Stephenson High School. Reed attended Northern Michigan University where she received her Bachelors and Masters degrees.
