Volleyball: Brentwood's coach Campbell included on elite list

Legendary Brentwood volleyball coach Barbara Campbell was included on an elite list pieced together by MaxPreps.com recently.

Campbell, who has guided the Lady Bruins to a state record seven consecutive Class AAA state titles, earned the nod from the athletics website as one of the top 100 coaches in high school. MaxPreps.com released the list on Friday and said they wanted to “identify 100 of the top high school coaches in the country.”

Campbell definitely fits the mold.
