Juanita volleyball’s head coach Teena Bambolo will no longer be coaching the Rebels this season after she was dismissed from her position on Monday, Sept. 19.

According to Juanita High School Athletic Director Steve Juzeler, the Rebels interim head coach will be Emily Price, who was an assistant for the varsity team under Bambolo.

Juzeler said it happened prior to the team’s game against Mount Si on Monday evening, and that he could not comment on personnel matters.

Bambolo said she was called in for a meeting Monday with Juzeler and school administrators who told her contract with the school had ended and asked hand in her keys. She said there was no chance to talk the decision over, and was told it was a final decision.

According to reports, a top player had recently quit the team, but neither the coach, nor the school, were willing to comment more about the termination or what led to it.

Bambolo had been with the Rebels for 10 seasons. The team just missed the state tournament last season, after finishing No. 2 in the KingCo tournament. They are 2-3 this season.

The Rebels next game is against Liberty Wednesday, Sept. 21 beginning at 7 p.m. at Juanita High School.
