Coach Mike Krause of Parkland High School joins the show to reflect on 22 seasons building one of Pennsylvania's most dominant volleyball programs — including three state titles won with his own daughters on the court. Mike shares stories from his playing days at East Stroudsburg, the mentorship that shaped his coaching under Penn State's Russ Rose, and the moments that turned a program with zero championships into a state powerhouse. He also opens up on what makes a great coach: curiosity, honest feedback, and building relationships that outlast the uniform.

North Allegheny's tenth state championship came against Hempfield in the 2026 final, the same program whose record they tied. Head coach Dan Long joins us to talk about the win and what it meant to reach ten. More than that, we get into the thread that connects him to Bob Miller and Dan Schall, the coaches who set the standard he now carries. This is a conversation about culture, continuity, and what it means to be built at North Allegheny.
