Cienega head coach Heather Mott has a combined 509 career wins between the girls (280) and the boys (229) and she is looking to be the first coach from Southern Arizona to win back-to-back state championships on the boy’s side since Heather Moore-Martin led Catalina to state titles in 2010 and 2011. Mott is also looking to be the first to win three state championships coaching boy’s volleyball.
