Panther's Coaching Staff
Louise Crite- Head Coach
I have been teaching and coaching for 16 years. I bring dedication and expertise to the volleyball court. Alongside my husband of 14 years and our beloved dog, Duke, we make a happy family. Beyond the volleyball court, I enjoy sports, spending quality time with loved ones, and tackling DIY projects at home.
My passion is coaching volleyball and nurturing character growth. Through the game, I aim to instill life skills in my players, inspiring them to reach their full potential and become true students of the sport. As Head Coach at Ridge Point, my goal is to empower student athletes, guiding them towards personal growth and excellence, both on and off the court.

With two years of teaching experience, I thrive on forming strong bonds with my students and athletes. It brings me joy to share my knowledge with the next generation, aiming to shape them into excellent students, athletes, and good individuals. Outside of work, I enjoy watching reality TV, playing volleyball, and cherishing moments with my loved ones.
Mackenzie Thompson
Originally from Michigan (Go Blue!) I moved to Texas where I have been a Social Studies teacher and Volleyball/Softball coach for the past 4 years. I have a passion for helping mold students and athletes to become the best version of themselves and work to prepare them for life outside of high school. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, going to sporting events, and traveling.
