 Head Women's Volleyball Coach - Clay Blackwood. Second Season.
Southern Illinois University '02 Coach Clay Blackwood is the newest head coach at Evergreen. Formerly at Olympic College in Bremerton, WA, Blackwood coached the volleyball team from 2004 to 2006. In his second season as head coach for the Rangers, Blackwood advanced the team to the NWAACC tournament for the first time in 27 years. Before coaching at Olympic College he coached eight seasons at North Kitsap High School. Blackwood has strong roots in the Kitsap Peninsula area, attending high school in Poulsbo. He earned his associates degree from Olympic College in 2001 and in addition to coaching volleyball, he also coached softball for five years at the same institution. Blackwood received his B.A. in Workforce and Education from Southern Illinois University in 2002. A baseball player in high school and college, Blackwood found an interest in the new sport after enrolling in a volleyball class while attending Olympic College. Nine years later he was teaching the same class. He studied the game closely, played in adult leagues and found he had a strong pull to coach the sport. The Evergreen Volleyball Team, which struggled last season with a 3-16 record, has a hopeful outlook for the future. Blackwood has the experience to build the program back to better days in the future. Clay Blackwood will work full time at The Evergreen State College as coach and the Recreation and Fitness Coordinator. Overall Record at ESC: 2-18 |
