Panther's Coaching Staff
Louise Crite- Head Coach
I've been teaching and coaching for over 16 years, bringing dedication and expertise to the volleyball court.
My husband and I have been married for more than 15 years, and along with our beloved dog Duke, we make a happy and loving family.
Beyond volleyball, I enjoy sports, quality time with loved ones, and tackling DIY projects at home. Coaching isn’t just about the game for me, it’s about building character, instilling life skills, and inspiring my players to reach their full potential.
As Head Coach at Ridge Point, my mission is to empower student-athletes, fostering their growth and excellence both on and off the court.
Talya Monroe
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.
