Volleyball star hopes to be coach one day

Stafford High senior Becca Munoz has played sports her whole life – from the time she was 3 years old and was kicking around a soccer ball, to her last year in high school where she dominates on the volleyball court. Munoz says she is both motivated and inspired by her mom, who, along with her family, supports Munoz’s academic and athletic careers. She hopes to one day be a teacher and a coach.
