Albertson softball head coach Kelly Gibbons is in her second season with the Coyotes.  Building the Lady ‘Yote program from scratch, the University of Idaho graduate is hoping for the success she has seen throughout her coaching career.  During her nine years at the collegiate level, she has compiled a 280-162 all-time record.  While at Washburn University in Kansas, she led the squad to NAIA Women’s College World Series berths in both 1988 and 1989, winning four district titles, and helping the college move in 1991 from the NAIA to the NCAA Division II.  Gibbons earned District Coach of the Year honors in 1988, 1989, and 1990.  She also served as the Washburn head volleyball coach from 1987-97.  Since moving to the Treasure Valley, the Idaho Falls native coached two seasons at Nyssa (Ore.) High, along with one year at Bishop Kelly High in Boise – with all three teams advancing to their respective state tournaments.  Gibbons has three children – Drew (10), Destry (7), and Madilynn (6).
