Ryan Mattingly has been named head varsity boys coach for Bishop Walsh Spartan Basketball, according to BW Principal Jennifer Flinn. Mattingly just completed a successful season as 8th grade coach for Bishop Walsh Middle School.

“We are excited to announce that Ryan has taken the varsity coaching role here at Bishop Walsh School,” says Flinn. “Ryan’s family has a history of local basketball coaches and players including his grandfather Bob Mattingly who coached youth basketball for years to his father Regis Mattingly who was a Spartan basketball player from 1966 – 1970.”

Prior to coming to Cumberland from Gaithersburg, MD Mattingly has assisted with youth basketball and other sports for years. He has been working locally as Assistant to the Owner of Fielding Construction and has forged many ties to our local community through his employment, coaching and volunteer work.

"I am very excited to continue to be a part of Bishop Walsh school and community,” says Mattingly. “I’m excited for BW to return to localized basketball and to continue working with the group of young men I’ve been coaching. These young men are rising freshman and are looking forward to playing high school Spartan basketball. It is gratifying for me to coach at my father’s alma matter.”

Athletic Director, Mitch Peters says, "We are looking forward to continuing with Ryan on his coaching journey here at BW. He did a wonderful job coaching this past year and has forged great relationships with the players and their families.”
