A longtime Kansas volleyball coach, Ray Bechard, is scheduled to be inducted into the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame on August 16, KSNT 27 News reported. The induction recognizes a career that Bechard built in Kansas volleyball before the honor arrived.
Bechard’s reflection ahead of the ceremony centers on his deep ties to the state, including his lifelong connection to Kansas and his work as a former Kansas volleyball head coach. His legacy is described as becoming part of Kansas sports history well before the Hall of Fame induction date.
