Phil Campbell is one of four volleyball teams in Franklin County with new coaches. Julianna Taylor will lead the Bobcat volleyball program as Amy Moss steps back into an assistant role after starting the program three years ago.

In the short time Taylor has been with the Bobcats she has learned a lot about the team.

“During our time together, I’ve learned that my team has a lot of potential and enthusiasm,” said Taylor. “They’re eager to learn and improve, which is a great foundation to build upon.”

Taylor, who played college volleyball at Blue Mountain College in Mississippi, is looking for discipline and focus from her team.

“I’m looking to create a disciplined and focused team that excels both on and off the court. I expect us to push our boundaries and aim for a strong performance in every match.”

For Phil Campbell to succeed, Taylor says her team needs to focus on consistency and coordination.

“Our success this season hinges on improving our serving accuracy and defensive coordination,” Taylor explained. “If we can consistently control our serves and maintain a solid defense, we’ll be in a great position to win matches.”

Taylor said she likes that her team is enthusiastic and wants to learn the game.

“The thing that gives me a good feeling about my team is their positive energy and eagerness to learn. Their enthusiasm for the game and their determination to improve makes me confident in our potential.”
