Coach Aye’s Comments:
"Coach Malloy brings great energy and a wealth of championship experience. He excels at scouting opponents and developing our greyshirts, especially when it comes to game planning. Coach Malloy has an eye for detail and loves bringing fresh ideas to the table that help our program continue to elevate. Having three head college coaches on staff is a blessing I do not take for granted. He is a coach who relates well to the players, and his energy is contagious. We love having him with us every day!"
