A LETTER FROM COACH DILLS TO HER SENIOR PLAYERS:
"It has been such a blessing to coach these girls and watch them grow over the years. I have had the privilege of seeing them develop from middle school athletes into the beautiful, confident, hardworking young women they are today. Watching that journey has meant more to me than I could ever put into words.
Each one of them has brought something special to our volleyball program — their personalities, leadership, effort, determination, and love for the game. They have created memories that will stay with me long after their final match is played.
Senior Night is always bittersweet.
I am so proud of how far they have come, but it is hard knowing this chapter is coming to an end. I hope they know how much they are appreciated, how proud I am of them, and how much joy they have brought to me as their coach.
Ladies — enjoy every moment tonight. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey and for giving so much to our team and program.
Once a Lady Jacket, always a Lady Jacket. I love you girls and I am so proud of each of you."
