Coach Jessica Demaret cheers along with her team during a past game.
The Green River High School Activities Department recently announced that Head Volleyball Coach Jessica Demaret is stepping down from her position.
Coach Demaret has been the head coach for the past three seasons. She led Green River High School to a second-place finish at the 2024 Wyoming 4A West Regionals this past fall. Her team was the first volleyball team from GRHS to qualify for the Wyoming 4A State Tournament since 2017. Coach Demaret has also coached several players who were selected to the 4A West All-Conference Volleyball Team and the 4A All-State Volleyball Team, including four All-Conference players and one All-State player in the 2024 season.
"This was an extremely difficult decision for Coach Demaret," Sweetwater County School District No. 2 Activities Director Tony Beardsley said. "She has a great deal of love and passion for the game of volleyball. I know that she's proud of the players that she's coached and she feels good about our volleyball program and where it is positioned right now for success."
Coach Demaret is looking forward to spending more time with family and her children, according to Beardsley, but he said she will be missed.
"We appreciate all the time and effort she has dedicated to the program," Beardsley added. "We wish Jessica the best as she moves on and we thank her for her service to the program."
Moving forward, the school district plans to begin the search for a new head volleyball coach as early as this week. The position will be open to in-district candidates as well as out-of-district applicants, Beardsley explained.
"Coach Demaret has positioned our volleyball program for continued success and we want to find the best possible fit for Green River High School in a new head coach," Beardsley said.
