She previously played beach and court volleyball before coaching. Coach Fletcher, many people may know her for being a counselor Holy Family, is the new JV coach. And last the new coach in the program is former 2025 senior Gabby Hebert’s mom! Even though many of the coaches have changed, Coach Gallas and Coach Autumn still remain the coaches for their teams.
The varsity team had their first game on Thursday against University. Even though they put up a fight, almost winning a set 24-26, they ended losing in three sets. Even though the Tigers did not win, they are still driven to win their game on Tuesday against Golden, at home.
