Sandi Porter, the last Blissfield coach to guide a team to a state championship, has returned to coach the Lady Royals.
Porter takes over a team that went 28-16-5 last year, and 7-3 in the LCAA, finishing behind champion Ida. Blissfield’s season ended in a thrilling five-set district final match at Whiteford.
Porter said former coach Gretchen Platzke, who was an assistant on the 2005 state championship team, left her with a group of girls who really understand the game. Now Porter wants to use her team building skills to form a juggernaut.
