Maggie Younger recorded her 500th win as Rockwall-Heath's volleyball head coach at the NISD Classic, putting her just four victories away from 600 for her career.

The Lady Hawks swept Highland Park 2-1, Prosper 2-0 and Timber Creek 2-0 on Thursday, Aug. 20, according to MaxPreps' game-by-game results for the tournament — a day earlier than initially reported. Rockwall ISD Sports Marketing announced the milestone on X, calling Younger the newest member of "The 500 Lady Hawk Club."

Younger founded the program in 2004 as a member of Rockwall-Heath's original faculty. She came to the school after coaching at Plano High School and West Mesquite, among other stops, and has guided the Lady Hawks for 22 seasons. In 2014, the Texas Girls Coaches Association named her its 5A-6A Coach of the Year.

Before coaching, Younger played both volleyball and basketball at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. Rockwall ISD's 2024-2025 athletics handbook lists her administrative title as Ninth Grade Campus Coordinator; a claim that she now serves as an assistant athletic director overseeing middle school athletics districtwide could not be independently confirmed for this story, as a more current staff directory was not accessible during fact-checking.

The 500-win mark at Heath alone puts Younger's career total at 596 victories across all her coaching stops. After recording her 400th career win in September 2017, she spoke to the Rockwall Herald-Banner about the milestone; the specific quote and additional details from that 2017 article could not be independently re-verified for this story, as the source was not accessible during fact-checking.

The Lady Hawks were 13-4 overall entering the weekend, following a 6-0 start at the Pearland Tournament that included a win over rival Rockwall. Heath heads to the HISD Tournament Thursday through Saturday, Aug. 27-29, then hosts Frisco Centennial on Thursday, Sept. 3 and JJ Pearce on Friday, Sept. 4.
