Fond prep memories and a passion for coaching brought her back to her old stomping grounds, Calvert said.

“I just really thought it would be fun to be a part of the program again,” Calvert said. “(It’s) a program that I had such a great time in as a player. And also I love coaching. We would do some camps at BYU in the summer and I just loved coaching the girls, especially when they’ll listen and try to do what you’re saying. There’s a lot of trust on this team and I love seeing it and being a part of it.”

Calvert, originally from Farr West and later attending Fremont High School, recently completed her one-year contract with professional club KP Brno in the Czech Republic.

Calvert, part of a 2021-22 WCC regular-season title and subsequent NCAA Tournament berth during her time in Provo, finished her BYU career ranked fifth in career blocked shots (138) and sixth in career blocked shots per game with 1.16.

“So much has prepared me for coaching through those experiences,” Calvert said

“College and pro (basketball) were so different from each other and from high school that I just got so much more information and ways to do things that is so helpful. Obviously college has a lot more resources so those individual workouts with the post coaches I had were amazing for me because I got to take what I had learned in high school and just add to it and keep those drills to teach with later on. There’s so many different ways to run an offense and to play the game so I loved having so many different coaches and teammates the last few years so that I could learn so much.”

Calvert is the newest of Dalebout’s assistants amid a 13-2 run so far this season, with a 4-0 start to region play. Calvert was a two-time state champion with Fremont in 2018 and 2021, and was rated a four-star recruit by ESPN out of high school.

Her first visit with the current team measured up to the Fremont standards of her prep days, Calvert said.

“My first impressions of the team were exactly what I expected it to be,” Calvert said. “Lisa is such an amazing coach and she sets expectations that all her athletes are expected to follow and they do. She’s someone you respect and love. She knows what she’s talking about and the girls know that too so they listen to her. The girls are just so amazing and one thing that I’ve learned from Lisa’s program being in it and now coaching it is how important to her it is that they aren’t just good basketball players but good people. She does an amazing job with that as well and every single one of them is amazing.”

Fremont’s Moa flips to Michigan

Fremont High alum Salesi Moa has landed on his third college commitment with the Michigan Wolverines.

Moa, now listed as a cornerback on 247 Sports, committed to Michigan and former Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham on Friday at the Polynesian Bowl in Honolulu, Hawaii, over the weekend.

The No. 1 prospect out of Utah, 10th cornerback nationally and 76th overall, Moa spent roughly a week on campus in Salt Lake City before entering the portal under a “do-not-contact” tag last week. Moa, originally committed to Tennessee in July of last year, flipped his commitment to Utah on Dec. 3. Then, Whittingham stepped down at Utah and was hired at Michigan.

Salesi isn’t the only talent of his bloodline on the move.

BYU and Michigan State transfer Aisea Moa, the older brother to Salesi, as well as of Weber High fame, committed to Michigan on Saturday following three seasons in Provo and another in East Lansing. Aisea, a linebacker, has one season of eligibility remaining.

Keele, Sparrow headed to Weber State

Two local seniors, one from Weber High and another from Morgan, are making Weber State their home next fall.

Weber High’s Sophia Sparrow, this fall’s Region 1 girls volleyball MVP and Standard-Examiner All-Area First Team middle blocker, will continue her career as a Wildcat, the team announced via social media on Tuesday.

Sparrow dug up All-State honors in her senior season with 727 career kills, a .215 hitting percentage, 210 blocks and 227 digs.

To the east, Morgan offensive lineman Ledger Keele also penned his name for an opportunity continue playing football at Weber State by announcing his commitment.

Keele, a three-year starter up front, led a 1,400-yard rushing effort in 2025 and provides the Wildcats another able lineman at 6-foot-3 and 295 pounds. Morgan reached the 3A semifinals, falling 42-28 to Manti.

Waite steps down at Bear River

After four seasons, Trampis Waite’s time in Garland is done.

Waite, Bear River’s head football coach, announced via social media earlier last week that he’d be leaving the state to become the next head football coach at Nampa High School in southwest Idaho, near Boise.

Waite shared the following message with the Bear River community on Instagram:

“It is with a heavy heart that I am stepping down as head football coach at Bear River High School,” Waite said. “This was entirely a family decision, as I have accepted the head coaching position at Nampa High School in Idaho. This allows my family to be around more extended family. I have poured my heart and (soul) into Bear River football and the student-athletes here. I have and always will coach for the kids. They are what keeps me going in this profession. I am excited to see the steps BRHS takes in this next leadership change. Go Bears!”

Waite finished 14-32 overall in four seasons at Bear River.
