Heading into the 2024-25 school year, new Leland varsity volleyball Coach Travis Baker said he and the team are ready to give it their best embarking on another busy season.
While Baker is taking on the head coach position for the first time, he’s been assisting with coaching volleyball at Leland for about 14 years now. He was the junior varsity coach as well as a longtime assistant for the varsity volleyball team for some years before taking on the reins from former head coach Laurie Glass, who led the Leland Comets to win multiple state championships and accolades during her 29 season tenure.
News of Baker taking over the position was announced last year from Glass herself at the MHSAA Division 4 state championships, where the Comets fell to Clarkston Everest Collegiate 3-2. Following the legacy Glass left over her decades of coaching, Baker said he thinks it will be a challenging season, but they’re aiming to do their best to improve as much as they can moving forward.
