Burt named Talladega College volleyball coach

TALLADEGA, AL — After a multiple-month coaching search, Talladega College has named Ron Burt head coach of the Lady Tornadoes volleyball team.

“I am happy to be here,” Burt said. “They had a pretty good year last year and the coach left and they were looking for a new one and I jumped at the chance. I like the program that they have; all the girls are coming back except a couple. We have a real good nucleus of girls and I am looking forward to some good things.”

Athletic Director Will Ramos believes Burt is a good fit for the Lady Tornadoes.

“I think coach Ron Burt is going to be a very good coach for this college,” Ramos said. “He is very experienced, he knows the game of volleyball very well. He is very good with the girls. The girls are very excited about him. I think the volleyball program will improve just because we have him here. At the same time we have to know the girls have been here for two years have been very successful so I think it will be a good match for both sides.”
