Rebecca Sawers '11 Reflects on Successful First Season as Hebron Head Coach


Rebecca Sawers '11 was recently featured in an article sharing about her first season as the Women's Soccer head coach at Hebron High School (TX). 

Rebecca moved into the role of head girls soccer coach this year after the previous coach stepped down after nine years. Under her coaching, the team placed fourth in districts with a district record of 8-5-1 and made it to the playoffs this year. She grew up playing soccer in high school and continued her athletic career at Malone while studying education, math and science. 

After graduating from Malone, Rebecca landed a teaching and assistant soccer coaching job in South Carolina. She stayed there for five years before moving to Texas, where she continued as an assistant coach for nine years before applying for the head coach position at Hebron.

“When they told me that I got the job, I was giddy,” Rebecca said. “I just knew that [Hebron] was where I needed to be in the next phase.”

Congratulations to Rebecca for being named head coach and for a successful first season at Hebron! We're excited to watch as she continues to build and strengthen the women's soccer program. You can read more about her first season and teambuilding here.

Joelle (Rex) `10 and Craig Carnes `10

Joelle (Rex) `10 and Craig Carnes `10 Craig and I met at Malone in the Fall of 2005 as freshman members of the Pioneers Marching Band. Yes, we met at BAND CAMP! He was a boy from Cincinnati and I, a girl from Cleveland, from complete opposite ends of the state and here we were meeting in Canton, Ohio. We learned that we had both been at Malone's Scholar's Day event the year before but never saw each other! During our first year at MU we hung out with the same core group of friends all five of us were pretty inseparable. Our time together as a group was spent watching movies or playing games in the Barn, going to Late Night in the cafeteria especially on nugget night, playing ping pong in the lounge of Gurney (PGB) or Froggy's, watching American Idol in dorms, or making trips to Taco Bell. Band and chorale were the major social outlets for both of us and being in such frequent company made it easy to grow fond of each other. We began dating the summer after our freshma...
