History Part 3 - Ohio High School Volleyball Coaches Association

• Donated material from various individuals such as Diana Ford, Margaret Love, and
Chuck Braden
• Additional help from the OHSAA office and Brandy Young in providing the results of
the state tournaments during the ‘90s
The goal of this paper is to provide a background regarding the growth of the sport of volleyball
in Ohio and to record major information of the OHSVCA. It will be presented during the summers
of 2004 through 2008, the OHSVCA’s 25 th anniversary.
It will also give coaches/schools access to the history of their school in volleyball in terms of
state honors, all-star matches, and state tournament results. If anyone knows of a former coach that
coached in the early years of the sport, please let that person know this paper is available on line.
Junior high/ middle school and boys’ volleyball information will be kept to a bare minimum as my
primary interest and concern is with girls’ high school volleyball.
As is always possible, an error could have been made in the spelling of a name, a year, a school
name, etc. I welcome any corrections and/or additions to this information (see the last page for
corrections). Please feel free to contact me at my home address of 29453 TR 212, Fresno, Ohio,
43824.
If you have trouble sleeping at night, then this paper is for you!
