A historical season will also get underway this August as the Newport Lady Greyhound volleyball team, under the direction of Coach Natalie Hymen, begins their inaugural varsity season.
The program has been playing junior high and junior varsity action as the program builds from the ground up the past three years.
Their season gets underway Tuesday, Aug. 24 at 4:30 p.m. at Walnut Ridge with both the junior high A/B teams and the senior high varsity and junior varsity teams in action.
The Lady Hounds will play their first ever varsity home contest 48 hours later as they host Cave City Thursday, Aug. 26 at 4:30 p.m. as the same four teams will be in action.
