Lincoln Pius X volleyball coach Jake Moore picked up his 500th career victory in the Thunderbolts’ 21-25, 25-22, 25-9 win Friday against Lincoln Southeast in pool play of the Lincoln Public Schools Classic.

The two-time defending Class B champion Thunderbolts have won five state titles under Moore and recorded one runner-up finish. Pius X has qualified for state the past 13 seasons.

“This just means I’m old,” Moore said about achieving the milestone. “Through the years, I’ve been very fortunate to have great athletes who have bought into our system and great support from parents.”

" Congrats Jake!! Coach Moore started his volleyball coaching career in Fairmont. I can still see him setting there, he would get so nervous the towel that he always had in his hand would end up around his head. You are a great coach Jake and we are all proud of you. "
