DAILY DIVE – Volleyball and Softball teams prepare for the season’s first packed Thursday schedule

There are 125 softball games and 180 volleyball matches scheduled for Thursday evening, marking the season’s first really busy day.

On the softball field, top-ranked and Class 6A defending champion East Coweta will begin its regular season on the road against Central-Carroll (0-1). The Lions opened the season Wednesday with a 5-4 loss to Class 2A No. 4 Rockmart. In a meeting between ranked opponents, at 5:30 p.m., Class 2A No. 1 and defending champion Morgan County will host Class 3A No. 3 Monroe Area.

On the volleyball court, Class 6A No. 2 Walton opens its season 6:30 p.m. against Campbell. The Raiders, a 15-time state champion, won 10 of those titles from 2010 to 2021. At 5 p.m., Class 5A No. 1 Pope will play host to Class 4A No. 9 Kell in each team’s season-opener.
