MACOMB'S JESSA COKER PLEDGES LINCOLN COLLEGE

Volleyball is more than just a sport for Macomb's Jessa Coker....it's on the job training.

The standout Bomber Setter envisions herself becoming a high school or college coach down the road.

With an eye towards that goal, she will further her volleyball education by continuing to play the sports she loves at Lincoln College...which she officially pledged today.

<"Jessa really fits the mold of a Lincoln College setter very well. We typically run a system where we have a back row setter all the time, so we'll have two setters rotating in. And typically those players are shorter, faster, good defensive players and ones that can be aggressive on the court, which is really what I saw from her. I think she's going to fit right in to our system,"

"I feel very comfortable playing defense and they were looking for a back row setter and that's where I was looking to play. I'll enjoy it a lot,"
