BOISE, Idaho, November 16, 2010 - Cole Valley Christian High School volleyball coach Kelle Bond is this week's "Be True to Your School" award winner, presented by Commercial Tire and Cooper Tires.

The following are excerpts from the nominations for Coach Bond.

"Coach Bond is more than an excellent coach with her X's and O's. She has a passion for being involved in her kids' lives. She is a marvelous lady in the classroom and on the court."

"Kelle believes in the mission of the school. This year, in a "rebuilding" season, she challenged each girl on the team to play to her highest potential. The result is a 22-3 record, a district championship and the school's first-ever trip to State in 2A. Kelle is 'True to our school' and full deserves this recognition."

Coach Bond will be invited to be a guest of the Idaho Stampede on Sunday, December 26, to be recognized on-court for her award. Throughout the season, coaches will be invited to be recognized at Idaho Stampede basketball games and Idaho Steelheads hockey games at Qwest Arena.
