"The team was upset to get knocked out first round, but are hungry to get back in the gym and prepare for our first region match vs North Cobb at home on Tuesday," said head coach Jeff Black. "Every day we look better and better, and are expecting to make a strong push in the region and finish in the top three.

Marietta Volleyball starts off strong (2-0) with big home wins against Wheeler and Campbell!

8/7/2019

Going into the first official matches of the season the lady blue devils came out ready to play, making quick work of Wheeler Varsity in 2 sets with the final scores of 25-12 and 25-15. The lady blue devils were lead by junior outside hitter Kendall Gazaway with 4 aces, 10 kills, 7 digs, and a .429 hitting percentage. (picture it like a batter in baseball, a really good average is .300). Junior middle hitter Grace Thompson, nicknamed the Grace Horse due to her strong work ethic, recorded 2 aces, 4 skills, and a .444 hitting average!

The Campbell match was not won nearly as easy, after winning the 1st set 25-20, the lady blue devils lost set 2 21-25. Set 3 to determine the match did not disappoint the fans, as both teams played their hearts out, but in the end Marietta pulled out a 17-15 win to complete a 2-0 sweep for the night. Once again they were lead by big games by Kendall Gazaway and Grace (the Grace Horse) Thompson. Kendall recorded 13 kills with a .276 hitting percentage. Grace had 10 kills with a .471 hitting percentage, including 2 HUGE KILLS that eventually lead to a dig and kill by Kendall to secure the victory!

The lady blue devils compete in the Sequoyah Classic this weekend and will play at River Ridge High School on Friday and Saturday.

Southpaw Will Underwood stepped up to the plate with 2 runners on, hoping to hit one into the gap to score the game winning run....with a 2-1 count Will turned hard on an inside pitch, sending a bomb over the right field fence - a walk off home run to win the game and continue the Diamond Devils season!

Welcome our New Head Varsity Girls Basketball Coach Derrick DeWitt!

With honor and excitement we welcome Coach Derrick DeWitt to the MCS family! Coach DeWitt spent the last seven seasons at Sequoyah, where he went 147-61 and led the Lady Chiefs to the playoffs in each of the last five seasons. That included trips to the state quarterfinals and semifinals in 2015 and '16, respectively.
DeWitt replaces Mike Marchese, who spent three years as Marietta's coach following the departure of longtime coach Ken Sprague Jr. Marchese went 74-39 with the Lady Blue Devils, with an 18-11 mark this past season.

“You feel supported at Sequoyah, but moving up to Class AAAAAAA and playing in such a competitive region, working with some different resources and trying my hand at some things I want to do professionally is what drew me to the job,” DeWitt said. “I believe what I’ve done at Sequoyah has prepared me to grow the same way you ask your players to go and prepare themselves. I just want to take the challenge and do my best to be successful like we were against Sequoyah.”
Before moving into coaching, DeWitt got his start as a player, playing collegiately at Stetson University. He played more than 100 games for the Hatters and still ranks second in team history in 3-pointers made.
Still, DeWitt said he still had much to learn about the sport as a coach.
“One of the biggest things I learned was how to work with athletes,” he said. “Grades are important, and life after high school is important. Building relationships with players and students is important. You learn those social skills working with young players and working with the community to make sure our team feels loved and supported.”
​
At Marietta, DeWitt will enter one of the toughest regions in the state, but that will be nothing new for him.
