HOUSTON – Twenty years ago when Geoff Stresman moved to Texas from Michigan, the Canadian-native didn’t know anyone.

Stresman didn’t have family in the Lone Star State to lean on. He found that “family” at Lutheran South Academy.

“It’s a place that I’ve seen grown over the 20 years,” Stresman said. “I’ve seen it grow and change for the better. I love the people here. I love the students and athletes here. It’s a lot of fun to be here, coach and work here.”

Now, two decades later and 17 of those walking the sidelines as the LSA volleyball coach, Stresman found himself in a milestone moment on Thursday.

At home against Cypress Christian, Stresman entered the night with 299 career wins. A 3-0 sweep of the Warriors improved LSA’s season record to 7-3 and gave Stresman career victory 300 at the same time.

“It was in the back of my mind,” Stresman said. “Going into the season knowing I was close to it, being at 293 when we started the season, I knew that was going to be there. Part of me was glad that we were able to do it at a home game.”
