“Mele brings a wealth of experience, having coached at Hive Volleyball Club and Farmington High School,” the school said via Instagram. “She comes from a family of coaches and is ready to lead our volleyball program to new heights.”

Fiefia replaces Lily Solomon, who led the team to a 9-10 finish last fall despite a breakthrough 19-5 record two seasons ago.

Fiefia steps into the new role with deep experience as a coach and a former multisport standout during her prep career. As a senior, Fiefia tallied 246 total serving aces, 263 digs and 118 kills for the volleyball team at Farmington.

As an assistant, Fiefia helped head coach Erin Glover lead the Phoenix to a 10-20 finish last year.

Utah State offers Roy High quarterback

All-Region 5 quarterback and Roy High junior Rock Speredon received an offer from Utah State last week, according to an X post by Speredon late last week.

The Aggies are currently coached by Bronco Mendenhall, who holds a career 146-95 record in 19 seasons as a head college football coach between BYU, Virginia, New Mexico and Utah State.
