Newport High School alumna Caralyne Wallace is the Wildcats volleyball program's new head coach. “We are excited to have Caralyne lead our volleyball program,” Newport Independent Schools Athletic Director Kevin Reinhardt said. “She has a love for Newport and her players. She has great knowledge of the game and is ready to put in the work to lead us to success.” Over the past two seasons, Wallace has coached Newport Middle School volleyball. While attending Newport High School, she was a four-year letter winner in both volleyball and basketball, cheered for three years and earned six varsity letters in softball. During her high school volleyball career, Wallace garnered numerous honors, including: 2017 KHSAA District 36 All-Tournament Team 2017 9th Region All-Tournament Team 2017 NKGVCA (Northern Kentucky Girls Volleyball Coaches Association) Volleyball Division 2 Honorable Mention Dena Gosney Sportswoman Scholarship Award Winner “When the opportunity to coach middle school presented itself, I felt compelled to give back to the community and school district that gave so much to me,” Wallace, the Newport High School Class of 2018 valedictorian, said. "I felt the same way when the high school position became available. I truly adore the team I’ve gotten to know over the past two years and am excited for the future of Newport volleyball.” Wallace, who volunteered with the Youth Spirit Squad and T-ball programs throughout high school and college, is committed to bringing pride and energy to the volleyball program. “We may be a smaller program, but that doesn’t have to reflect in the atmosphere," Wallace said. "I’m looking forward to strengthening the culture and excitement surrounding Newport volleyball.”
