The Parkland volleyball team is rolling through another season unbeaten, ranked No. 1 in the country and with its sights set on a return trip to the NJCAA Division II National Championships — and a national title this time around. Staff writer Scott Richey caught up with Cobras coach Cliff Hastings to find out what makes this year’s team special, his volleyball background and why Parkland is a perfect fit for him as a coach:
Is this year’s team as good — maybe better — than you expected?
I won’t say that it’s better than I expected, but it was clear even in the preseason that this was a unique and special team compared to our past couple of years as well.
