Episode Synopsis
                            No Program has dominated like Lovejoy Volleyball! 10 State Championships in just 17 years of existence and the Coach of the Year Natalie Puckett is running out of fingers for all this State Title Bling! Coach Puckett has won 3 State Championships as a player, 1 as an assistant coach, and now 2 as Head Coach! Lovejoy is a DFW Powerhouse located in the most volleyball talent rich area in the Country! More than 60% of the state titles come from the DFW Region. Lovejoy has been to State 13 times in the last 16 years and by far the most storied program in America the last 2 decades.
The Lady Leopards are led by State recognized talent in Skylar Jackson, Shelby Burris, McKenna Brand, Bethanie Wu, and SuperStar Freshman Gentry Barker. It’s a school that produces both athletic and academic excellence. Several girls are going to Ivy League Schools. It’s not often that a freshman even makes varsity…Not only did Gentry make the team but she also led the State’s juggernaut in kills (424) and had 17 kills and 11 digs in the State Title Game where she was named the State Championship MVP. It’s an easy argument to make that Gentry is the best high school freshman on the planet! She’s dominated in club volleyball since she was 7 and won National Championships in club volleyball and on the beach! She has a bright future and the Olympics are definitely in her future. It’s a spectacle everytime she spikes the ball!
Lovejoy dominates in both athletics and academics as a Lone Star Cup Contender. Football is State Title Caliber with the legendary Todd Dodge now leading the way but, it’s Volleyball that sets the standard of excellence. It’s a special community that wins in so many ways… Both the Boys and the Girls won Cross Country State Championships.
