Chapin is honored to be the home of three coaches of the year.  Cross County Coach Jack Legrand was named Cross Country coach of the year, Volleyball coach Mary Jo Jenny and Tennis coach John Rogers were selected as coaches of the year in their respective regions.

Coach Legrand has been coaching Cross Country for many years atChapinHigh School. 

“Over the years, numbers keep increasing, competition gets better, so we have to work twice as hard” said Coach Legrand. 

After all the years of coach Legrand coaching the Cross country team, he always finds a way to have a standout team. 

“The program runs itself. Our runners have bought into our system and run year around to be ready for the meets,” said Coach Legrand.

Coach Legrand has affected his runners in other ways than just winning races.

“Coach Legrand has taught me how to constantly push my self no matter what, and also to stay positive no matter your situation,” said Junior Dillon Gums.

Coach Rogers arrived here at Chapin in 1977 as a tennis and basketball coach right after he graduated from The Citadel where he played basketball.  As soon as Coach Rogers arrived at Chapin, the tennis team soared above and beyond all of the other programs in the state leading the program to two state titles. 

“What really separate us from all of the other teams is our work habits and our team chemistry,” said Coach Rogers.

Similar to Legrand, Coach Rogers always finds a way to have a winning season every year. 

“The main explanation of how we’re always winning is the positive attitude and having the mentality to never give up that Coach Rogers always displays,” said Junior Sean Koch  

Chapin is proud to have two of the finest coaches in our school that show good coaching and make their players better both as an athlete and as people in general.

  Coach Mary Jo Jenny who has been an outstanding coach for the volleyball program here at Chapin for many years. Coach Jenny always comes out of the season with an outstanding record of 18-5.  “We defeated Airport to be named the number one seed for the playoffs and region championship”.  Said Coach Jenny.

   One of the key to the volleyball team’s success was how close together they were and played really good together.  “This team was incredible.  The chemistry that they had can’t compare to any team I’ve ever coached.  They loved playing for each other and they tried their hardest not to let anyone on the team down.  I loved this group of rugrats!!!!”

“Coach Rogers, Coach Jenny and Coach Legrand are great coaches who bring a lot to the table, Not only for winning but for their athletes.” Said Coach Wessinger
