Yuma High School’s volleyball team will be under the direction of a new head coach for the 2024 season.
Long-time JV coach Jamie Nighswonger has stepped into the head role.
However, there are not many changes to the schedule compared to last year.
There are some, such as Resurrection Christian not being on the slate this season. Rez is being replaced by Forge Christian in Arvada, where the Outlaws will play on September 20. Sidney, Nebraska, Pine Bluffs, Wyoming, and Chase County, Nebraska, remain on the schedule as non-league opponents, as does Brush, Byers and Limon.
The Outlaws again will open their season at the Kit Carson Tournament, Saturday, August 24, and again will play in the Akron Tournament on Saturday, September 28.
Plus, they still have their usual gauntlet of the Lower Platte Activities Association teams. The Outlaws have only six home matches this season.
