Ex-Cougar LaToya Harris to coach Lewis-Clark State volleyball

Former Washington State volleyball standout LaToya Harris has been named head volleyball coach at Lewis-Clark State College, Warriors athletic director Gary Picone announced Monday.

Harris played at WSU from 1999-2002 and was a teammate of the coach she replaces, Jen Stinson Greeny, in 1999. Greeny resigned last month to become head coach at WSU.

Harris has been head coach at Sam Barlow High School in Gresham, Ore., since 2006 and comes highly recommended by both Greeny and her old coach at WSU, Cindy Fredrick.

Harris takes over a program that won four straight Frontier Conference regular season and tournament titles under Greeny.
