Coach Mike Zarate, a highly respected figure in the volleyball community, has guided Cardinal Gibbons volleyball team to continued success despite significant challenges. This season, Zarate faced the departure of key players, including UCLA signee Thiago Zamprogno, but managed to lead a young team to the state tournament. His ability to foster new talent and maintain the team's competitive edge has earned him this prestigious recognition.
Gabriel Nejad: The Rising Star
A pivotal player in this season's success is junior setter Gabriel Nejad. Recognized as a two-time All-Broward first-team selection, Nejad has been instrumental in the Chiefs' advancement to the state tournament for the fourth consecutive season. His journey to Cardinal Gibbons is a testament to his dedication and talent.
Gabriel Nejad initially played for several clubs, including Ocean Bay Volleyball (OBV), where Coach Zarate first noticed his exceptional skills as a setter. Zarate recommended that Nejad consider Cardinal Gibbons, a private Catholic school in Fort Lauderdale known for its strong volleyball program. Inspired by Zarate's recommendation, Nejad decided to transfer from Design and Architecture Senior High (DASH), an award-winning M-DCPS district-wide magnet school with a unique art and design curriculum complemented by rigorous academics.
