Blair High School volleyball coach Jess Lansman made her Omaha Supernovas debut Wednesday during the first-ever Pro Volleyball Federation match.
Playing in front of an announced crowd of 11,624 people at the CHI Health Center, the former Iowa State All-American started the 3-2 (26-24, 25-23, 17-25, 19-25 and 15-13) loss to Atlanta and finished with 13 kills. She joined the BHS coaching staff in 2022, spending two seasons as an assistant before she was named the new head coach in November.
“I believe that God had a plan for me and this was part of it,” Lansman said during the postmatch press conference. “So, yeah, I'm honored to, like, be in this position and, hopefully, have some of those Blair girls want to play volleyball and want to play for the Omaha Supernovas someday.”
