COACH CHAD HANSON SAYS
"Deacon has been connected to our men's volleyball program for several years.  He first attended our overnight Elite Boys Volleyball Camp and kept coming back.  We have literally watched him grow up in the sport and throughout his high school career.  What a joy to know that he sees a future in our campus community and men's volleyball program.  His versatility as a pin attacker as well as in the setting role will make him a strong contributor for the seasons ahead.  We would like to thank Stephanie Brahs, Susie Dickens and Misty Wollenburg as coaches who have positively influenced his growth and development over the years.  Deacon will be a blessing to us as he seeks to grow in his walk with the Lord while living out The Defender Way."
