HELENA — HELENA — After six years at the helm, three titles and a 71-match win streak, Helena Capital head volleyball coach Rebecca Cleveland is stepping down from her position with the Bruins.
In a text to Montana Sports, Cleveland said "I am grateful for the opportunity to work alongside some of the best coaches in the state and with countless athletes that have made a positive impact in our program. I truly appreciate the support given from the Capital High community and Bruin Volleyball families. I'm proud of our legacy and now look forward to spending time with my family- not just quality time, but more in quantity."
