      Dorothy\u2019s distinguished career began in 1972 when she entered Milford High School.\u00a0 At that time, athletic seasons were not as rigidly defined, so as a freshman, Dorothy was able to play four sports: volleyball, swimming\/diving, basketball and softball.\u00a0 It was that year that she first walked into the gym to try out for volleyball, a sport she had never played, and she was nervous. She overcame her anxiety, and with determination and hard work she made the team.\u00a0 Just two weeks into the season, to her surprise, her coach, Edna Fraser moved her up to the varsity.\u00a0 Although there were no all-star teams for volleyball in the early 70\u2019s, Dorothy was a standout for her team.\u00a0 She was an aggressive hitter, tenacious on defense and a powerful server.\u00a0 While at Milford, Dorothy earned 13 varsity letters. \u00a0She was captain of the volleyball team her senior year, the tennis team her junior and senior years and the basketball team her sophomore, junior and senior seasons.\u00a0 She competed in state tournaments in five sports: volleyball, basketball, swimming\/diving, and tennis.<\/p>\n

      Dorothy received one of the first NCAA scholarships for women.\u00a0 She attended the University of Alabama on a volleyball and basketball scholarship.\u00a0 She was a four-year varsity volleyball player earning letters each year.\u00a0 She appeared in three AIAW National Championship tournaments.<\/p>\n

      In 1980, Dorothy started teaching in Milford, but left in \u201981 to train for the Olympic Games (Team Handball). She made the team and represent the US in the \u201984 Games.\u00a0 The team finished fourth, missing a medal by a goal.<\/p>\n

      After the Olympics, Dorothy began a 13 year college coaching career which took her at the University of Minnesota, Tulane University and the University of Alabama.\u00a0 After marriage and two children, Dorothy decided to discontinue her Division I coaching career and she returned to Milford to resume her teaching career.<\/p>\n

      Dorothy has been the Athletic Coordinator at Newington High School since 2001. She has been a sports commentator and color analyst for ESPN in 1997, broadcasting NCAA and international volleyball events. She lives in Rocky Hill with her husband Tom and children Ty and Kyley.<\/p>\n

      Toni attended Southern Connecticut State College from 1967-71. After graduation she was hired by the Branford School System to teach physical education at Branford High School, and she also became the volleyball coach. Toni\u2019s volleyball coaching career did not startout on\u00a0 a very high note; that first year her team finished the season 0-14. The second year produced a more promising 10-5 record and, from that point on, there was not going back.\u00a0 In her 20-year career, Toni has had only four losing seasons.<\/p>\n

      There have been many accomplishments in Toni\u2019s career.\u00a0 Her teams have qualified for the state tournament every year but one.\u00a0 Branford appeared in five CIAC Class M State Finals, winning the championship three years in a row from \u201981-\u201983 and finishing runner up in \u201984 and \u201988. In 1982, in addition to winning the state championship, her team completed an undefeated season and won the Housatonic League Championship. Toni was named CIAC State Volleyball Coach of the Year in 1984, and she has been nominated as National Coach of the Year twice. She has coached numerous all-league and all-state players many have gone on to play in college, and a few have become coaches themselves. Toni was active in the Connecticut Junior Olympics program. She coached the team that won the tournament and the right to represent Connecticut in the Junior Olympics in Chicago, Illinois. Toni served on the CIAC volleyball committee from 1983-\u201986.\u00a0 She is one of the founding members of the Housatonic League and a founding member of the Connecticut Scholastic Women\u2019s Volleyball Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

      Toni retired from teaching this past June, but will continue to work with the young people at Branford High, supervising two clubs and producing the theatrical productions there.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/article>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n

      Paula attended Platt High School in Meriden from 1975-79 during the infancy of Title IX and the growth of women\u2019s athletics. A versatile athlete, she played volleyball, basketball and softball.\u00a0 When Paula entered Platt as a freshman, volleyball had only been a varsity sport for three years.\u00a0 The team finished 6-8 that year, but just three year later it would finish 15-2 and be runner-up in the CIAC Class M State finals.\u00a0 Paula was a big part of that success.\u00a0 A dedicated and talented athlete, she worked to develop and improve. She was a four-year varsity starter in volleyball, earning four letters and serving as co-captain her senior year. She was also an All-League team selection her sophomore, junior and senior years (there were not All-State teams in the 70\u2019s). \u00a0\u00a0Paula did not just excel in volleyball; she was a four-year varsity starter in basketball and softball as well.\u00a0 She earned letters in each of these sports for four years. She has the distinction of being the first athlete at Platt to earn twelve varsity letters. Paula was also captain of the basketball and softball teams and was an All-League selection for both.<\/p>\n

      Paula received a volleyball scholarship to the University of Connecticut, no small feat since scholarships for women were rare in 1979.\u00a0 She played there for three years and earned three more varsity letters. Since graduating college, Paula has continued her involvement with volleyball, playing on USVBA teams, beach doubles, and coaching.\u00a0 Paula started coaching at Middletown High School in 1984, but left after one season to return to Platt to replace her former coach, Denise Amiot.\u00a0 She continued to keep the winning tradition alive. In her four years there, Platt won three CIAC Class M State Championships (1985, \u201986 and \u201988) and was runner up in 1987.<\/p>\n

      Today Paula resides in Cheshire with her husband Michael and her two children, Brendan (11) and Lindsay (8).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/article>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n

      Marge\u2019s interest in sports began when she was a young girl. It started with her playing with her siblings, then competing at the high school level and then in college.\u00a0 She attended Southern Connecticut State College from 1970-74, where she majored in Physical Education and played volleyball, basketball and softball.\u00a0 In 1976, marge was hired as a physical education teacher and as head volleyball coach at North Haven High School.\u00a0 Her enthusiasm, competitiveness and extensive knowledge contributed to her success as a coach.\u00a0 She produced teams that were aggressive, disciplined and highly motivated.\u00a0 North Haven qualified for post-season play regularly.\u00a0 In 1979, just three years after Marge took over at North Haven, they not only qualified for the state tournament, they won the Class M State Championship.\u00a0 Then in 1980, they repeated their success and won a second championship.<\/p>\n

      Marge also coached basketball and softball at North Haven and she was instrumental in establishing the North Haven High School Sports Hall of Fame.\u00a0 Many of the athletes Marge coached continued to play volleyball in college and a few have become coaches.<\/p>\n

      Over the years, Marge has given a lot of her time to volleyball.\u00a0 She has served on the CIAC volleyball committee for the last 28 years and she has be the CIAC State Volleyball Tournament director for the last eight.\u00a0 She also served as Region I representative to the National Federation of High Schools\u2019 Volleyball Rules Committee in the late 80\u2019s.<\/p>\n

      Lisa\u2019s remarkable career began in 1993 at the Morgan School in Clinton. She was a three-sport athlete, playing volleyball, basketball and softball; she was outstanding in all three. During her four years there, she left an amazing legacy. Lisa was a four-year starter on the volleyball team and served as captain. In those years, her team amassed an 85-3 record, finished 22-0 in 1995 (an undefeated season for the first time in school history), won three conference championships and won the CIAC Class S State Championship four years in a row. Lisa\u2019s contribution to her team\u2019s success is evident in her numerous awards.\u00a0 She was 2nd<\/sup> team All-Conference in 1994, 1st<\/sup> team All-Conference in \u201995 and \u201996. , All-Middlesex County in \u201994, \u201995, \u201996, All-Area 1994, \u201995, \u201996 and 2nd<\/sup> team All-State in 1996.\u00a0 As if this were not enough, Lisa was equally successful in her other two sports. She was captain of the basketball and softball teams as well, and she was selected to the All-Conference, All-Middlesex County, All-Area and All-State teams in BOTH of these sports. In her junior year, all three of her teams won state titles. This is believed to be a state record for the most consecutive state titles won in one year for a single high school girl\u2019s athletic program. To cap off her career, Lisa was chosen the New Haven Register Connecticut Female Athlete of the Year in 1996, an honor she would receive again in 1997.<\/p>\n

      After graduating high school, Lisa attended Coker College in South Carolina and Southern Connecticut State University. She has continued to share her love of sports and competition by working at numerous volleyball clinics and camps, and through coaching. Lisa was head volleyball coach at Branford High School for two years, where she developed a more skilled, unified and successful program.\u00a0 In 2004 she was named head women\u2019s volleyball coach and softball coach at her alma mater, SCSU.\u00a0 Her drive, dedication and disciplined coaching style have already helped to improve these programs.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/article>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n
