The district confirmed that leadership for the volleyball program will be replaced for the upcoming season. We fought for this change because our athletes deserve a program that reflects their potential. Keep watching the school board meetings to ensure the search for our next coach is transparent and community focused.

It's Time for Change!
We, the undersigned of this petition, call upon the ECISD Superintendent, Dr. Scott Muri; Athletic Director, Tracey Borchardt; Odessa High School Principal, Mauricio Marquez; and ECISD School Board members, to make a change to the position of Head Volleyball Coach for the Odessa High School Bronchos.
We, the undersigned of this petition, call upon the ECISD Athletic Director and ECISD School Board to search for qualified coaches who are proven and highly respected by the Odessa High community.
We, the undersigned of this petition, do not desire for Odessa High School Volleyball Team to be known as a losing program and call upon the administration that is in place, as well as the ECISD School Board members, to listen to the voice of West Odessa as it pertains to the current stature of the Odessa High School volleyball program and the negative direction it has been in for several years under the performance of Head Coach, Victoria Smith.
We are genuinely concerned about the impact Smith’s coaching style has on the girls as well as the future of the program under her leadership. There have been many voices over the years expressing the same concerns but those have been ignored.
We, the parents, players, and alumni, wholeheartedly believe it is time for a change as the program has hit such a low point. We ask that you take this into consideration not only primarily for the student-athletes but for the future of the Odessa High Volleyball Program

The athletic department has been silent so far but our pressure is mounting. Call the school board office today and demand that they review the volleyball program performance. Post the link to the petition on your own social media pages to keep this moving.

It’s time for our girls to be treated fairly and for all girls trying out for OHS-VB team to get a fair chance to be part of a winning team. I remember the coach saying that our girls had a poor attitude, well attitude reflects leadership, COACH!!!
I believe and I have told both the athletic director and the volleyball coach herself that a change in volleyball coaching and the way they treated the girls needed to be assessed and improved. We complained and nothing happened
Very disappointed on decisions on the coaching staff on who played & who made the team there is much potential of the girls that tried out & made the team but yet did not get play time due to politics or bum kissing
I watched Coach Smith belittle my sister to a point where my sister believed the names she was being called. Instead of being called a coach I think bully may be more appropriate.
High on their resume not who they r related to. Our west side girls deserve a highly winning-past coach. The love for the game is killing our girls souls as they start playing for Odessa High
I truly wanted to post a simple note in order to thank you for all of the pleasant ideas you are writing on this site. My rather long internet look up has at the end been honored with excellent facts and techniques to go over with my close friends. I 'd assume that we visitors actually are unquestionably blessed to live in a very good network with so many outstanding professionals with valuable secrets. I feel pretty lucky to have used your web pages and look forward to many more fabulous moments reading here. Thanks a lot again for a lot of things. kevin durant shoes http://www.kevindurantshoes.us.com

This team should not have been winless in district. There is not a big talent disparity that would make their record acceptable. A change is needed as unfortunate as it may be for those involved. We saw the boys football team become competitive after making a change, I believe our girls deserve the same chance at success.
