Volleyball Returns for 2023

After taking a one-year hiatus, due to coaching turnover, the Highland Volleyball team is back in action this Fall! New head coach Joanna Ingmire is ready to lead the Scotties back into Ben Allen Field House with a lineup of new recruits for the 2023 season.

Ingmire said, "I am thankful to President Fox for the opportunity to be the women's head volleyball Coach at HCC.  I look forward to coaching our student athletes and setting high standards for the Highland Community College Volleyball Program".

Six of this year's volleyball class come from the NE Kansas area giving this squad a particularly local flavor. Two of the recruits, Avery Weathersbee and Kyra Johnson, played here in Highland at Doniphan West High School.
