Groves has their new Girls Volleyball Coach.

Written Tuesday July 13th at 6:30 PM

The Falcons have a new volleyball coach and it comes from their arch rival.

Groves named Madison Clouse as the new coach of the program. Clouse takes over for Jessica Prepolic whom stepped down in April.

Clouse was the junior varsity coach at Seaholm for the last three years and coached the 14 and under National Select Travel volleyball team.

"Coach Clouse is our new Varsity Volleyball Coach. While this is her first head coaching position she comes to us with a love and passion for volleyball. Her coaching philosophy is that a volleyball team should be composed of members who have the same goals in mind, to grow together, to have fun together, and ultimately win together. She is excited to continue her coaching journey at Groves High School" said Groves Athletic Director Tom Flynn in a press release. 

Groves has a nice blend of youth and experience coming back in Lauren Brown, Lydia McKeever, Mara Chalifoux, Ava Kirchinger, Lauren Sample, Dajah Mines, Rebecca Apsey, and Heaven Harris which should help the transition period.

The Falcons will be in the White with West Bloomfield, Rochester, Avondale, North Farmington, Farmington, Berkley, and Royal Oak. They are in an interesting district at Troy Athens which features Troy Athens, Troy, Royal Oak, and Warren Mott.

Thoughts

This is an interesting hire to go to the arch rival for their new head coach. Clouse learned from two of the best minds in Heather and Jason Gambone. I think Clouse will do wonders at Groves. Program strength should be interesting to watch when it comes to the Falcons. They should have the talent to be a contender in the White this season.

Stay tuned to OAA Now for the latest on this developing story. 

Here is the press release.
