Wiscasset’s Julie Jones said the Wiscasset Christian Academy girls volleyball team she has long coached recently won its fifth straight Athletics Christian Education League championship and, with daughter Maddie graduating, Jones has finished coaching Wiscasset Christian but is not finished with coaching volleyball.

 

“We went three very close sets with the South Liberty Pioneers, and pulled it off,” Jones said of the win at Open Door Christain School, Lisbon. “With a team of only six high schoolers and two little middle school girls on my bench, we also had an undefeated season! A lot of sweat and tears were shed as the thought of our last match was won by the Wiscasset Christian Academy Lady Minutemen.”

 

Assistant coach of the winning team was Alicia West. Members were Captain Maddie Jones, Hayley Weymouth, Katelyn Hilton, Nadalie Sleeper, Emily West, Olivia West, Addison West and Sadielynn West. 

 

Said Julie Jones, “Over 21 years coaching and I am finally stepping down as Maddie is graduating her senior year. It is time to travel and watch my two daughters (Maddie’s sister Aleeya is also a WCA graduate) play college volleyball.” As I reflect on my journey with Wiscasset Christian Academy, coaching these girls for all these years has made me fall in love with coaching and I plan to continue the love of the sport.This summer I will begin my journey as I hold volleyball clinics in the hope to grow the sport here in Midcoast Maine. I will travel to schools for a very low cost as well as open our home sand volleyball court here at our Wiscasset residence for those who will want conditioning or sand volleyball training.”
