Head coach Reeshemah Johnson is in her second year in charge of the Fayetteville State Volleyball program. However, she's no stranger to the Broncos or volleyball. Johnson served as an assistant coach at FSU from 1998 to 2000. In her three seasons as an assistant, FSU won the 1998 CIAA title and finished second in 1999 and 2000. As a player at FSUe, Johnson helped blaze a trail that is still being followed by Broncos players today. In 1996, she captained the Broncos' first CIAA Championship team, while being named FSU's Student Athlete of the Year. Johnson won the same award in 1997 and also set an NCAA Division II record for service aces in a four-game match. In 2009, her first season at the helm of the Broncos' program, Johnson led FSU to the CIAA Championship finals and Runner-Ups status after a 19-9 finish, including a 15-2 record in conference play. Under her direction, FSU had four players - Samantha Meeks, Chekimbrell Jefferson, Achari Mainor and Cailee Huffman -- on the 2009 All-CIAA team. Jefferson won her third consecutive CIAA Player of the Year award. A 1998 graduate of FSU, with a Bachelors of Science in Accounting, Johnson was named NCAA Woman of the Year for North Carolina the same year. After receiving a master of business administration degree from Fayetteville State, Johnson became a full-time faculty member in the Department of Marketing and Business Education at Fayetteville State. Johnson has seven years university faculty experience and two years public school teaching experience. On the court, but away from Fayetteville State, Johnson was a National volleyball representative for Jamaica. In 1999, she was given the best setter award for the Caribbean Volleyball Championships. She also coaches Fayetteville area girls ages 10 to 17 in the Fayetteville Spikes Volleyball Club. Johnson brings intimate knowledge of Fayetteville State University's policies, procedures and the community it serves, gained through experiences as a student, member of staff, and faculty member. Her years as an advisor and leader at Fayetteville State provided her with a knowledge of diverse aspects of Fayetteville State University's operation, including student life, athletics, academics, continuing education and graduate studies. |
