Hug reflected on his first season as head coach.
“It has been one of the greatest joys of my life to be at the reins of one of the premier high school boys volleyball programs and an honor to coach such amazing young men,” he said. “Being a DP graduate, former player, and to get to coach with all of my former coaches, Larry Vranish, Mike Beresford and my mentor, Chris Hughes, was a dream come true.
“The boys and I are extremely excited for CIF and can’t wait to keep the season rolling.”
