Favorite Volleyball Moment:
	Beating New Life in the Section 4A Final to advance to the state tournament in my first year as Head Coach at Mounds Park Academy and getting to share it with both of my daughters. We hope to do it again! Beating #1 SW Christian at State as an unranked team. Another favorite moment was at the 2004 Nationals in Houston. We were about to play Triangle 18's, whose star was Megan Hodge (Penn State/USA National Team), and I found out their coach said they would walk all over us. We designed our defense around Hodge and won in two rather convincing games. After the match Kelly Peniata dumped a bottle of water on my head. And, of course, WINNING AAU NATIONALS in 2023!
