Meet our High School Girls Basketball Head Coach, Chris Couch! Here’s what Coach Couch says about himself:
My name is Chris Couch and I am the Head Coach of the Plato Lady Eagle Basketball Program. I have a BS in Management of Information Systems and graduated high school from Plato, where I played basketball all 4 years. I have been married for 23 years to my wife, Brandi, and we have three children - Cain (22), Cara (18) and Brenna (16). I have coached the game of basketball in some form since 2001. One true passion I have is for the game of basketball, it being my main hobby. If I am not playing or coaching, then I am watching and researching. I believe in hard work, dedication, teamwork and playing with confidence. I will instill those qualities into our team. I look forward to the future of the Lady Eagle Program. I believe it will be bright. #platorv

🎉 Meet our new Assistant High School and Assistant Junior High Volleyball Coach, Maggie Cline! Here’s what Coach Cline has to say about herself:
Hello everyone! My name is Maggie Cline, soon to be Maggie Rodts. I am currently in college to become an elementary teacher, and am a momma to a beautiful baby girl named Alice. I have played volleyball as long as I can remember. I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to play college volleyball. It fills me with much joy to be able to be coaching for my second consecutive season within high school volleyball.
🏐 In my first year of coaching, I had the amazing opportunity to coach underneath my high school coach, Ashley Martin, a sports hall of famer. I was her assistant coach in Mountain Grove and learned so many training techniques and how to teach grit to our players. She helped me get my foot in the door for coaching, and I will forever be grateful for the relationship we have.
🏐 I also got an amazing opportunity to coach at Success for middle school volleyball. I was the assistant coach under Craig Pounds. Not only did I learn how to teach volleyball skills to a different grade level, but I learned life lessons as well. I look forward to starting my second year of coaching! I think if you work hard and have God by your side you can accomplish anything! #platorv

Hello everyone! My name is Alan Rodts Jr., but everyone knows me as AJ Rodts. Maggie and I just had our first child, a beautiful baby girl. We are getting married at the end of July.
🎓 I am attending Missouri State for my college education.
🏀 When it comes to basketball, I have loved the sport since I was little. Plato has always been my home, and I am excited to be coaching within my home town. I have helped out with the basketball and baseball teams since I graduated from high school. It was always a dream of mine to be a coach, and it is finally happening. It is my pleasure to be coaching junior high and high school basketball this year. I am excited to get started!
