Lucinda Nash has coached seven state-championship volleyball teams and five runners-up at Kayenta Monument Valley High. She knows what she likes in a player, and that means being more than one-dimensional. "="">
If you do not follow that blueprint, you will sit, even if you are the coach’s daughter.
"="">
That’s what happened when Nash’s daughter, Bradley, was a freshman. Her passing skills weren’t up to the coach’s standards, so she came out of games when it came time for her to move to the back row.
"="">
“It just killed me to go out of the game,’’ Bradley said. “But I learned to become more of a complete player.’’
"="">
Bradley has all grown up now and at a height of 6 feet, the senior has become one of the top all-around players and especially outside hitters in the state, regardless of classification.
