She was also named Portage County League Volleyball Coach of the Year four times in 1988, 1989, 1990 and 1997 while serving as the head coach of the Crestwood High School varsity team.
A substitute teacher for Crestwood, Kenston and Twinsburg and 13 years as Crestwood's Varsity Volleyball team coach, Wanda also returned to Hiram first as assistant and then, for one year, head coach of the women's basketball team.
As of her induction, Wanda was assistant basketball coach at Kenston where she also coached fast-pitch softball. However, her best game strategies are saved for her team of daughters and husband, Tom.
