Volleyball Head Coach Tanya Porter has begun the two-week process of building this year’s version of the Lady Tigers and in only her fourth year she has begun to see the fruits of her efforts to expand the program into both the school and the community. Looking to build on the success of last season’s sweet sixteen appearance in the GHSA state tournament, coach Porter, with the assistance of rising seniors Chloe Bennett, Harmony Evans and Marlie Townley, along with Assistant Coach Kristi Kreegan hosted a volleyball-skills mini-camp on April 23 in the gym of Dawson County High School. Open to rising sixth through twelfth graders, over 50 girls attended the camp that featured an emphasis on basic fundamentals. They were broken down into smaller, age-based groups to focus on separate skills such as proper hitting and serving techniques.
