House hopes to bring VB success

PERRIN – Mention Perrin’s district foe Bryson to new Perrin Volleyball Coach Savannah House and watch her grit her teeth.

It’s nothing personal, mind you.

House, who coached at Savoy for the past two years, remembers the Cowgirls defeating her Cardinals to knock them out of the playoffs two seasons ago at St. Jo.

“It just seemed like the whole town was there and rooting those kids on,” House said. “I later found out they had a football game there that night which helped.”

She hopes to instill that kind of enthusiasm into Pirate volleyball.

After last volleyball season, House left to go coach soccer at a small school in Fort Worth but the Iowa Park native really wanted to get back to small town living to give her daughter, who will be starting Pre-K, a way to see how mom grew up.
