On the recordApril 17, 2024

Today, I rise to celebrate the career of Mater Dei High School Coach Kevin Kiernan. After 17 years at Mater Dei coaching the girls basketball team, this will be his last season coaching the Monarchs. Coach Kiernan recently celebrated his 900th win after a decisive victory in the southern California regional playoffs. It was a bittersweet moment for the coach as he and his players reflected on the legacy that he is leaving behind. He wraps up his coaching career with 12 CIF Southern Section titles, six State crowns, and two national championships. That is a record. Coach Kiernan is an Orange County native, and Mater Dei High School will keep him as athletic director. We wish him the best. I am glad he is staying around. Let's keep the good work going. Honoring Richard ``Dick'' Higgins
