For now, Hanner hangs out with her best friends from volleyball, watches Netflix, works on her game and dives into her other hobbies.

AFTER A FEW YEARS OF TURNOVER INSIDE THE VOLLEYBALL PROGRAM, FORT BEND CHRISTIAN ACADEMY HAS FOUND THEIR PROGRAM BUILDER. We want to be the powerhouse in this area because there are so many great players to draw from in the Fort Bend, Sugar Land, Katy and Fulshear area. While an assistant at Episcopal, Edwards played a large role in developing elite talent while learning from one of the best in the business coach Amanda Watts. Yes, we had great players but you have to get them to buy in, keep them motivated and keep their eye on the prize. Coaching girls, Edwards is a big believer in communication.
