Walton volleyball coach honored as one of Top 100 nationally

Walton-Lassiter volleyball

Melissa Watkins of the Walton Volleyball Booster Club sends along this news about Lady Raiders head coach Suzanne Fitzgerald:

She’s been named as one of the Top 100 high school coaches in the country by MaxPreps.

That’s a high school sports website and the rankings aren’t just for volleyball, but for all sports.

The list isn’t a ranking—the coaches are named in alphabetical order, and Fitzgerald is only one of four coaches from Georgia to be included.

In December, Walton won its fifth consecutive state championship, beating East Cobb rival Lassiter in the finals.

Walton has won nine state titles in the last 10 years and has 14 championships overall.

Fitzgerald, who teaches English at Walton, was named the MaxPreps national prep volleyball coach of the year when the Lady Raiders were crowned that organization’s national champions.
