La Grange athletic director Kyle Cooper has shared some more news regarding Leopard head coaches: • Brittany Oruonyehu, who was introduced as new La Grange volleyball and girls soccer coach in late spring ended up not taking the job and instead accepted the head volleyball job at Lockhart. Cooper said LGISD ended up not being able to hire a volleyball coach this summer, so Ryan O’Neal, the school’s new girls Athletic Coordinator and new head girls basketball coach, will also assume head volleyball coaching duties this season, on a one-year interim basis, and then the school will look to hire a new volleyball coach for the 2026 season.
