The Dawson County junior varsity and varsity volleyball teams gathered last week for their first banquet at the Dawson County Professional Development Center to celebrate the inaugural season of volleyball at DCHS. Coaches, players and families took time to assess the season's ups and downs and laugh about what it's like to start a program from nothing during dinner on Oct. 25. "We had eight volleyballs," Coach Tanya Porter said about the first week. From the first moments the program was approved, Porter went to work studying the game and developing an affinity for the sport that many had hoped would make its way to Dawsonville.
