Over the years, Coach Herr and her team have played in countless playoffs, championship games, and district games, but her focus has never been solely on winning on the field. Her wins off the field have created an amazing LCCS girls soccer legacy. The girls soccer culture is one of honor, hard work, and fellowship! To go with coaching, Joanna is a wife, mother, LCCS prek teacher, and ice cream lover.

After that, he hopes that his players can learn something for beyond the court when their playing career is over. Coach Hobbs loves LCCS because of the family community, especially considering his wife teaches at the school and all 3 of his children attend LCCS.
