Lubbock High volleyball 'could be magical' in 2026, coach says - Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

Lubbock High School's volleyball coach is already generating significant buzz, predicting a "magical" season for the Westerners in 2026.
For families with student-athletes in the Tech Terrace area, or those who grew up watching games at the historic LHS gym off 19th Street, this outlook offers a glimpse at exciting times ahead. Incoming freshmen and current underclassmen now have a clear, shared goal to chase, as a high bar has been set for them. This outlook often fuels local rivalries across the city, especially with Monterey and Coronado.
The prediction will draw more attention to every game between now and 2026, creating increased scrutiny and excitement for the program. This could also inspire younger athletes at feeder schools and boost participation in youth leagues around the South Plains Mall area. For Lubbock High, this statement is a public commitment to excellence. The challenge now rests on these future Westerners to transform high hopes into championship reality.
