Providence Classical Christian School volleyball head coach John Ferguson was voted “Coach of the Year” by his peers in the 1B Athletic League. Providence is based in Kirkland.

Ferguson, of Snohomish, led his players through a “perfect” regular season, according to Providence Athletic Director Nathan Morris.

“John did a fabulous job of coaching the girls this year and he is very deserving of being coach of the year,” Morris said. “He does a great job of training the players, managing the games, and making it a great experience for all the players.”

“Ferguson is a good role model for the students, as well as being a fine coach,” Morris said.

Providence not only won every game in the regular volleyball season, but every set as well. The team placed second in 1B district playoffs and third in tri-district playoffs. The team’s ranking in the tri-district competition guaranteed them a spot in the state playoffs for a second year in a row.

Volleyball senior co-captains Katie Adair, Woodinville, and Hailey Ferguson, Snohomish, also took All-League honors. Both were selected for the league’s first team — those voted the top players by league coaches — and junior setter Lauren Haft, Snohomish, was named to the league’s “second team.” Haft was only one of three non-seniors in the league to be selected for either team.

Adair has signed on to play volleyball for Cedarville University in Ohio this fall.
