Wallace State Athletics Announces New Volleyball Assistant Coach and Wins Academic Champion Award

Wallace State Community College added former Priceville high‑school head coach Emily Williams as an assistant coach for its women’s volleyball team. Williams, who spent five seasons leading the Priceville program, joined the Lady Lions in the spring and was praised by head coach Randy Daniel for her communication skills, enthusiasm and positive impact on the team.

The college’s athletics department also earned the 2025‑26 Alabama Community College Conference (ACCC) Athletics Academic Champion Award. With 74.3% of its student‑athletes achieving a 3.0 GPA or higher, Wallace State was recognized for its commitment to academic excellence across all sports. Athletic Director Paul Bailey highlighted the achievement as a testament to the dedication of coaches, staff, and athletes.

Both developments underscore Wallace State’s focus on developing well‑rounded athletes who succeed on the court and in the classroom.
