Getting 500 wins as a coach is not easy, and last night, Thursday, October 17, 2024, it wasn’t easy but the Stuart Lady Broncos got it done for Coach Sandy Miller in a thrilling volleyball match on their home court.
Stuart took on Winside, and the match went the distance. It looked like an easy win, as Stuart took the first two sets 25-11, 25-8. Winside came back and won sets 3 and 4 26-24 and 25-14, sending it to the fifth set. It was quite the battle, but Stuart was able to pull out the victory 15-13 in Set 5.
Coach Miller has enjoyed a 25 year career with Wheeler Central, Chambers, Southern Valley, and Stuart. Miller spent 7 years at Wheeler Central High School compiling a 133-40 record. Then at Chambers, Miller finished with a 164-32 record over a 7 year span. During her 4 seasons at Southern Valley, Miller earned a record of 73-50.
