Newport Central Catholic has named the replacement for long time coach Jenny Mertle. Vicki Fleissner will take over as the new head coach of the Thoroughbreds. She has been the JV and varsity assistant with Mertle for 20 years. I am very excited for Vicki (who is a long time friend of mine) and the NCC volleyball program. My daughter will be a freshman next year and she too is excited by the news. It is still unknown who Coach Fleissner will have on her staff. I would imagine that 18 year varsity assistant Scott Froendhoff and freshman coach Alicia (Donnermeyer) Heller will be back on the NCC bench.

It will be a rebuilding year for the Breds, but, there will be a solid foundation of young players inwhich to build upon. 4 freshmen got varsity experience this year.

Congrats to Vicki!:dancingpa
