Program on the rise: Tech volleyball finally taking shape

Once upon a time, there was a sad women’s volleyball team. On September 15, 2007, it began a 64-game conference losing streak that only ended on October 2, 2010. Between 2002 and 2015 it only had seasons with negative records.

In a cold day of January 2016, a man came from Corpus Christi. He wasn’t a prince riding a white horse, he didn’t wear a mantle and a cap with a feather, but he came to save this sad women’s volleyball team. His name was Tony Graystone.

Our Red Raider didn’t have to fight enormous fire-breathing dragons or three-headed dogs, but bears, wildcats, hostile mountaineers, and longhorns.
