Crescent High School proudly announces Rae Bostic as the new Head Coach for the Lady Tigers Volleyball Program.
A Crescent High alumnus, Coach Bostic is not a stranger to the CHS Volleyball program and brings with her a rich sports education and coaching background. Her journey began in Spartanburg District 5, where she made significant contributions as a volleyball coach at Florence Chapel Middle School and an assistant softball coach at Byrnes High School. In 2014, seizing an unexpected opportunity to return to Crescent, she joined Coach Adams on the softball diamond and began assisting with the Crescent Volleyball program, an endeavor close to her heart.
Coach Bostic's deep connection to Crescent High extends to her early days as a student-athlete under Coach Ann Cioffi, who introduced volleyball to Crescent, leaving a lasting legacy that Coach Bostic now aspires to honor and build upon.
Expressing her enthusiasm for her new role, Coach Bostic stated, “I am immensely thankful for this opportunity to lead a program rich in talent, supported by dedicated coaches and passionate parents. I am thankful for Coach Kristen Fouts, who has elevated the Crescent Volleyball program to its current prominence by building a culture of grit and excellence. I do not take this responsibility lightly and am committed to furthering our legacy of excellence in volleyball here at Crescent.”
In addition to her coaching duties, Rae Bostic has been an influential figure in women's sports across South Carolina. She has been a part of the SC Coaches Association of Women’s Sports Executive Board for six years, serving as President for the past two years. Her leadership has been pivotal in recognizing over 400 athletes and 20 coaches annually, alongside hosting athletic events like the North/South All-Star Events for volleyball and softball.
“This is another exciting day for Crescent Athletics! Coach Bostic will continue the culture of excellence and high expectations established for our volleyball program under Coach Fouts and her staff. Coach B is experienced, loves Crescent, loves our kids and has high expectations for them and the volleyball program. That’s a great combination. We are so blessed that she is ready and excited about stepping into this position!” - Jeff Craft, Crescent High School Athletic Director
The Crescent High School community warmly welcomes Coach Bostic to her new role and looks forward to a future of achievements and sportsmanship under her guidance.
Go Tigers!
