Kelli Hilyer is the only head coach that Reeltown volleyball has ever known.

Six years ago, Reeltown High School wanted to start a volleyball program from the ground up. Hilyer played high school volleyball at Benjamin Russell, but played softball collegiately. She probably thought her volleyball days were behind her. Hilyer was coaching the high school softball team, but always had the love for the game of volleyball in the back of her mind.
