Rams eye strong season after injury woes and turnover
Rio Rancho High School volleyball coach Toby Manzanares credits OSU coach Urban Meyer’s finish-finish philosophy as inspiration. He returns most of 14-9 last season’s squad, minus star Erika Barbour due to a shoulder injury, and notes leadership from seniors Bolling Wilkins Beck Savela. The Rams aim to compete in Albuquerque metro, with Cleveland, La Cueva, Sandia, and Cibola named top rivals and Mayfield Las Cruces also in the mix for state tournament contention.
