The Mountain Home Lady Bomber volleyball squad, under the leadership of Jill Daves who enters her 8th season as head coach, will look to build on a season that saw her team return to the class 5a state tournament after missing it the year prior.
Coach Daves says she has a good amount of returning players and believe they will have a strong season.
Listen:
Last season Daves volleyball team tied for 3rd in the 5a-east, in spite of injuries to some major pieces, but believes the style they play will help them this season.
Listen:
A major rule change by the NFHS is teams are allowed to “double contact” the ball on the 2nd touch if the touch stays on their side of the net. Daves believes this change will be good personnel wise but removes some of the beauty of the game.
Listen:
Daves says that her team’s goal every year is to not only make state, but finish top 3 in a conference that features perennial powerhouses, the Valley View Blazers and Marion Patriots.
Listen:
Something unique about volleyball in the conference is that a large majority of nights, the 7th, 8th, and 9th grade programs, also play on the same night as the high school squads. Daves believes the squads, 7 through 12th grade, will have strong seasons and encourages the public to come out and watch.
Listen:
Lastly, Daves says her team has shown great unity in the offseason and into the regular season.
Listen:
The Lady Bombers will open the 2025 regular season on the road against the Harrison Goblins on August 25th.
