THE HERD: No. 21 Deer Park will do it with defense in 2024
NO. 21 -- DEER PARK DEER
Head Coach: Cortni Cox
2023: 35-11/Regional Semifinalists
FOR MORE THAN THREE DECADES, DEER PARK VOLLEYBALL HAS BEEN ONE OF THE PREMIER PROGRAMS IN THE HOUSTON-AREA.
Last year was no different. Led by 10th-year head coach Cortni Cox (251 career coaching wins), the Deer rolled to the Regional Semifinals before seeing their season come to a close, courtesy of Seven Lakes.
Four starters return off that squad, including a trio of first-team, all-district selections – Mycah Whittemore (Sr. RS), Kailey Sexton (Sr. MH) and Erin Goodson (Jr. DS). Out of that group, Sexton is verbally committed to continue her career at Southwest Baptist University.
Others to watch include Atlee Gonzales, Audrina Silva and Ali Klein. The keys to success for Cox’s Deer include being consistent and arranging a solid team culture.
