Volleyball season is a few months over, but statewide coaching honors were handed out. Mabel-Canton’s Lonnie Morken was named Class A Head Coach of the Year. The recognition was voted on by his volleyball peers who wanted to recognize his outstanding work this past season. The Cougars, devoid of any rotational player over 5’9”, went 30-6, losing in the 1A East final to eventual state runner-up Medford. M-C won its 21st straight SEC division or out-right title this past year, running its league winning streak to 130 matches. Morken’s Cougars have won 30 matches in eight of the last nine years.
