Midway Volleyball Booster Club

Welcome Coach Pryor! Looking forward to a great season!

Big news today for Midway Volleyball!!!

Midway Athletics is proud to recommend Mark Pryor as our new Head Volleyball Coach. Pryor brings more than two decades of collegiate coaching experience, a proven record of building championship programs, and a strong commitment to student-athlete development both on and off the court.

Most recently, Pryor served as Head Coach at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, where he led the indoor program to an outstanding 151-36 record over seven seasons. Under his leadership, the program consistently ranked among the nation’s best, reaching a program-high No. 4 national ranking and maintaining a spot in the AVCA Top 25 for more than two consecutive years. Pryor guided his teams to multiple conference championships, including an undefeated regular season, and was twice named American Southwest Conference Coach of the Year.

In addition to his indoor success, Pryor built the UMHB beach volleyball program from the ground up, transforming it into a national powerhouse. Within just a few seasons, the program captured back-to-back Division III National Championships and became one of the top academic programs on campus.

Prior to UMHB, Pryor served as Head Coach at the University of North Dakota, where he compiled a 117-58 record and led the program to multiple conference championships and NCAA Tournament appearances. His teams set numerous school and conference records, and he was recognized as Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year. Pryor also held coaching positions at Baylor University, Texas A&M-Commerce, the University of Louisiana at Monroe, and Boise State University, consistently elevating each program he joined.

Throughout his career, Pryor has demonstrated excellence in recruiting, player development, and program building. His teams have not only achieved competitive success but have also excelled academically, earning multiple team academic awards and maintaining high GPAs.

“We are excited to welcome Coach Pryor to Midway,” said Brad Shelton. “His experience, leadership, and track record of success at the highest levels of collegiate volleyball make him an outstanding fit for our program and community. We are confident he will continue to build on Midway’s tradition of excellence.”

Pryor holds a Bachelor of Arts in Speech Communication and Journalism from Baylor University and a Master of Arts in Communication from the University of Louisiana at Monroe.

Midway High School looks forward to an exciting new chapter under Coach Pryor’s leadership.

Grateful for the years, the lessons, and the lasting impact. 🏐
We invite all past and present players and parents to help us celebrate an incredible coaching legacy.
