Mary Ann (Mawr) Tremelling
Basketball (1974-78)

Mary Ann (Macur) Tremelling was a dominating force on the hardwood during the mid-to-late 1970s for Chico State. A starter all four seasons from 1974-78, Mary Ann set numerous scoring records as she led the Wildcats to four consecutive conference championships. Her final season of competition was the first year that conference awards were presented, and Mary Ann was appropriately awarded with first team honors for her outstanding play. She was later named the Golden State Conference “Athlete of the Year” for 1978.

Mary Ann set numerous school records during her four years at Chico State beginning in her freshman year. In each ensuing season, Mary would break her own record in any number of categories including points scored, shooting percentage and assists. Though most of her single game and single season scoring records have since been eclipsed, Mary Ann’s name can still be found among the top six all-time point producers at Chico.

Mary Ann currently teaches physical education and coaches basketball at Amador High School where she has taught for over 20 years. She also is the coach of her son Clinton’s “Hoops” basketball team comprised of 4th and 5th graders. The championship bloodlines have been passed on as Clinton’s team won the “Caz Classic”, the equivalent to a league final, earlier this year.

Mary Ann enjoys a sterling reputation among her peers, both past and present. Her former high school basketball coach, Nancy Paris, said that “as a leader in the community, Mary Ann continues to inspire and raise the bar by encouraging moral and social responsibility with those who are fortunate enough to know her.”
