Keandra McCardell, former University of Houston standout and Ridge Point star, takes over Conroe volleyball for her first head coaching job.Conroe’s volleyball team authored an impressive campaign in 2022, going 44-6, nationally ranked at one point, and winning its first playoff game since 1996.
Just six years removed from playing for the Coogs, McCardell is feeling, well, everything in the opportunity to lead her own program for the first time. At Houston, McCardell played all four years, totaling 3,046 assists, 888 digs and 102 kills in 117 matches. It was during her junior and senior seasons that coaching crossed her mind.McCardell helped out at summer camps and started coaching club volleyball with her former team, Houston Skyline. Her former club coach, Holly Jones, thought McCardell would make a great coach because of her passion and knowledge for the sport.
McCardell, who describes herself as “loud” and “intentional” as a coach, emphasizes defense and work ethic. She has had her team doing a lot of weight-lifting and running during the offseason and summer. The Tigers are still feeling a bit of a hangover from last season’s success, which McCardell is excited about. Players are feeding off the momentum.
