Hames has a decorated career with the Spartans. She started playing for the school’s varsity team as an eighth grader and led them to five state championships.
PrepVolleyball.com ranked her as the No. 4 overall prospect in the country.
And this won’t be Hames’ first foray into coaching. She spent five seasons with the Huskers as a setter before becoming a graduate assistant at Nebraska.
Hames then went on to serve as a director at K2 Volleyball, a club team in Louisville, Tennessee.
“We couldn’t be more excited about Coach Hames re-joining the Webb community and the impact she will have on the girls in our volleyball program,” the school said in a post on X.
