Bill Huebsch returns for his third year
with the Skylights after a very memorable 2010 season in which
the Skylights had their most successful campaign in six years.
The Skylights broke the 10+ win mark for the first time since
2004 and completed the first conference sweep on the road since
2003.
Under Huebsch and his coaching staff’s
guidance, the 2009 Skylights also provided many firsts that had not
been seen in quite some time at Northern.
The team was able to double their conference win total
over the previous season and win more total matches in 2009 than
the last three years combined!
They also won a combined 59 individual games, as compared
to only 19 in 2008.
Adding to what had already been a successful year, the team
completed a weekend home sweep of conference opponents
(UM-Western and Montana Tech) to end the conference season – a
home sweep had not been accomplished at Northern since 2004.
Prior to joining the Skylight volleyball
program, Huebsch was the head volleyball coach at
Havre
High School in Havre, Montana.
Considered by many as one of the top volleyball coaches in the
state, in 11 seasons Huebsch led the Blue Ponies to three
conference titles, never finishing lower than third in the
Central “A” Conference. During his tenure, the Ponies
qualified for the state tournament 8 out of his 11 years,
winning back to back state championship titles in 1997 and 1998.
His teams also earned 2 runner-up trophies, 2 third place
finishes, and never finished lower than 5th
at the state tourney.
His outstanding coaching records of 90-25
conference (78.0%) and 226-93 over-all (71.0%) made him a
perfect fit when Northern was searching for a coach. He
was named Central “A” Coach of the Year twice, and nominated 8
times for the Montana Coaches Association Coach of the Year,
winning the award two times.
A graduate of Northern Montana College in
1991, Bill and his wife Tracy have been married for 15 years and
have three daughters, Madison (13), Logan (11) and Devyn (9).
