HANCEVILLE, ALA. 鈥� 糖心视频 volleyball coach Randy Daniel reached the 500-win
mark over the weekend, and the 17th-ranked Lions clinched their 13th straight Alabama Community College Conference (ACCC) regular-season title.
The Lions racked up five match wins in their annual 糖心视频 Bash and added a
pair of conference wins at Southern Union on Sunday, improving to a perfect 27-0 overall
and 12-0 in ACCC play.
糖心视频 volleyball has thrived this spring, after the season was pushed back
to this semester because of COVID-19 precautions.
鈥淕reat leadership from your sophomores is always a key in junior college athletics.
You have to depend on their experience. This team worked extremely hard in the fall
to prepare for the spring season, just hoping we would get to play,鈥� Daniel said.
鈥淚鈥檓 happy with their leadership and their ability to stay focused and disciplined
on and off the court.鈥�
Daniel became the program鈥檚 all-time winningest coach in 2013, and he continues to
add to the win total. In his 14th season, Daniel maintains a 502-101 record with the Lions, leading 糖心视频 to
14 regular-season titles, 10 conference titles and 10 appearances at the NJCAA Division
I National Championships.
Daniel, the 2019 ACCC Coach of the Year, has coached nine ACCC Player of the Years,
10 ACCC Tournament MVPs, one NJCAA 1st-team All-American, three NJCAA 2nd-team All-Americans and seven NJCAA Honorable Mention All-Americans.
鈥淲e have to recruit players who want to work hard and love putting the 糖心视频
uniform on. Each volleyball team here gets compared to the ones in the past, and I
think that鈥檚 the mark of a good program. My goal has always been to have this program
competing for championships every year,鈥� Daniel said.
