I have been the MRH JV volleyball head coach for the past three years and previously from 2008-2016. I have also been serving as a coach through MRH youth sports for the past six years. I look forward to the upcoming seasons and sharing MRH volleyball with our community and future MRH graduates!"
Leslie Vincent, Boys Basketball Head Coach
Leslie Vincent is a St. Louis native with a lifelong passion for basketball, mentorship, and leadership development. A four-year varsity basketball player at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School, Leslie built a strong foundation in the game before continuing his basketball career at the junior college level.
Mario "Demond" Wilbourn, Wrestling Coach
"My name is Mario Wilbourn, and I am excited for the opportunity to continue serving the MRH community. I have been involved with the MRH Little League program and the High School Wrestling program for the past 10 years, helping young athletes develop their skills, confidence, and love for the sport.
As a wrestler, I earned a 5th-place finish at the Illinois State Championships and went on to compete for two years at Lincoln Junior College. Wrestling has had a tremendous impact on my life, and I am passionate about sharing those experiences with the next generation of student-athletes. I look forward to continuing to build a positive, competitive, and supportive environment that helps our wrestlers succeed both on and off the mat."
Dr. Jill Loyet, Assistant Coach, Speech and Debate
"I am honored to join a well-decorated team as the assistant coach for Speech and Debate. This program has had a great impact on many MRH students for the past several years, including my own household. As a middle school teacher, I am excited to see my former students continue to learn and grow through this program and I look forward to finding ways for all students to see the Speech and Debate team as a strong opportunity for them as well!"
