STRIKING OIL: No. 11 Pearland has plenty of untapped potential
NO. 11 -- PEARLAND OILERS
Head Coach: Jamie Gill
2023: 34-11/Area Finalists
AS THE OILERS TURN THE PAGE TO 2024, THE PROSPECTS OF A STANDOUT SEASON LOOK GOOD.
With 12 returners and eight seniors back on the Rig, fourth-year coach Jamie Gill has quite a bit to be excited about. She also enters this season with 398 career coaching victories.
Key returners include: Avery Koonsen (SFA-commit), Kimanni Rugley (North Dakota-commit), Cora Wolford and Adrian Rodriquez (Colorado School of Mines), among others.
"This is my fourth year at Pearland, so these are all my girls," Gill said. "I've created a competitive culture here, whether it's a rock-paper-scissors tournament before practice, or any other game. I want them to be competitive in everything they do and never be satisfied.
"We are Pearland Volleyball. Just making the playoffs is not the goal."
Gill's crew is "Locked In" this season as she pushed her agenda of being able to "compete under pressure".
