SAN MARCOS — Denyse Fernandez has finished second one too many times in her career whether as a player or coach.
Twice to be exact.
Fernandez, the former Denyse Haisler, was a member of the Cougarettes volleyball team that finished as the Class 2A runner-up in 1991 under Coach Deena Kolafa.
Now in her first year as the Brazos volleyball coach, she had to settle for second place once again after the Bushland Lady Falcons defeated the Cougarettes 25-11, 25-18, 20-25, 25-20 in the championship match last Saturday at Strahan Coliseum in San Marcos.
