A volleyball camp held last week at Rock Creek Park had high school volleyball team students helping teach lower grades a thing or two about the sport that has slowly been growing in interest and popularity in the county. Tanya Porter, Dawson County High School's varsity volleyball coach, said that 18 girls from 4th grade through 8th came out for the three-day camp to learn from not only the new junior varsity coach and new middle school coach, but also from members of the high school team. The camp gave high school players a chance to become mentors for the younger girls, Porter said.
