According to La Jolla's school website, Vikings boys volleyball coach Dave Jones has the longest tenure of any coach for the team since 1984. Jones, who leads his team into the Senior Game Tuesday, May 5, at home against St. Augustine, has served in 1999, and then continuously since 2002.
The skein of 14 years plus the additional year three years prior add up to 15 total years.
The longest any other coach has served in that capacity is Greg Volger, presently JV baseball coach and father of Brett, record-holding shortstop of the Vikings baseball team who holds the all-time school record for game starts at any position. The elder Volger coached seven years, from 1991-1997.
Vicki Eveleth held the boys position, according to the website, from 1984 to 1989.
Another potential distinction for Jones is being the coach that ushers La Jolla into the sport of sand volleyball, assuming it gets sanctioned by CIF in the near future. Sand volleyball is still played as a club sport, with no official status.
The chart:
Current head Coach: David Jones, 1999, 2002 - Present
Ricci Luyties 2000 - 2001
Kate Pearson 1998
Greg Volger 1991 - 1997
Jeri Wrigley 1990
Vicki Eveleth 1984 - 1989
