Celebrating Coach Codi Berry’s 251st Win and Championship Season

Congratulations to Coach Codi Berry on reaching an impressive milestone—her 251st career win—capped off by a State Championship this year! 🎉 Her success on the court is a reflection of the dedication, passion, and leadership she has poured into Macon East Academy athletics for the past decade.

Coach Codi’s impact stretches far beyond volleyball. In addition to serving as Head Volleyball Coach, she also fulfills key roles as Athletic Director, Assistant Softball Coach, IT Director, Annual Fundraiser Director, Social Media Manager, and Senior Class Sponsor. Her commitment to MEA is evident in every hat she wears and every student-athlete she inspires.

Known for her drive, mentorship, and heart for students, Coach Codi continues to set the bar high—both in competition and in character. She is a true role model to her teams and the entire MEA community.

“I got you. You got me. We got us.”
