A former Olympics gold medal-winning coach was at the helm of one of the squads in Eatonville High School's Blue and White volleyball team scrimmage Sept. 4. Bill Neville guided the United States' team to the gold in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. He's also a former coach for the University of Washington and the University of Montana. Eatonville coach Richelle Heacock recruited Neville to help run her team's recent public scrimmage because she has worked with him at youth volleyball camps at his training center in Bellevue. Directing the other scrimmage squad was Jon Aharoni, another national-level volleyball coach. He's the head coach of the U.S. beach youth volleyball team and a volunteer assistant for the national women's indoor team. Heacock is in her first season as coach of Eatonville, where she was a player in her high school days. The Cruisers' first match of the 2014 campaign will be Thursday at Morton-White Pass.
