Colfax hires Oakesdale's Brown as volleyball coach

Brandy Brown will be the new volleyball coach at Colfax High School.

She joins the Bulldogs after 13 years as a head coach for Oakesdale and Tekoa/Oakesdale, during which she led teams to seven state 1B championships, including the past four consecutive with Oakesdale.

Brown has been on the staff at Colfax Junior-Senior High School as a para-professional in special education.

Her family has bought a house in Colfax and daughter Justice will be a sophomore this year at Colfax.

“I’m sad but also very excited,” said Coach Brown, who will succeed Molly McNeil after one year, following the decorated, 900-win, 30-year reign of Sue Doering.
