Another coach who’s come a long way to help the Lady Broncs is Ulas
Ograk., a native of Ismir, Turkey who will enter his second year assisting
Head Coach Dave Thorn this season.
Ograk attended St. Joseph’s HS and 9 Eylul College, leading his team
to a third-place finish nationally as a sophomore and a sixth-place
finish as a senior while serving as team captain.
Ograk’s father was acquainted with a UTPA professor, so he came to the
United States to earn his master’s degree, which he earned in 2000.
He currently is a doctoral candidate at UTPA.
“I’m excited to help (Head Coach) Dave (Thorn), and to help the team,”
said Ograk. “It is a good experience. Dave wants me to help the players
work on their blocks and their defense,” said Ograk. “I think I should
be able to help.”
