Lady Guard Volleyball
Four years ago, Headmaster Rod Fletcher and Athletic Director Wally Dawkins made a concerted effort to build a girl’s program that would not only develop the girl’s athletic abilities, but also would foster their character and academic success.
“The Brook Hill Volleyball program is about commitment,” Coach Wise said. “We commit to hard work, we commit to our team, we commit to bettering ourselves, and we commit to Christ.”
“Our program is more than just developing skills to compete in the game. “We also strive to instill notable characteristics into our athletes,” Wise said. “We practice the game and play to win, but we also choose to bring glory to God through our success and defeats.”
“Being a Lady Guard Volleyball athlete means COMMITTING to buying into something that is greater than ourselves,” Wise said. “It’s a gift for me to be able to walk alongside these female athletes and invest in their high school years. We are looking forward to a 2018 season and making another run in playoffs.”
The Lady Guard is coming off a playoff run in the 2017 season. They made the first round losing a tough battle to Fort Worth Christian. They clinched nine postseason recognitions represented all their hard work.
