The season is about to get started for the Cedartown Lady Bulldogs and Rockmart Lady Jackets as the squads compete in scrimmage play on Thursday ahead of the start of the regular season next week.

The Lady Jackets held a intrasquad scrimmage on July 25, and the Lady Bulldogs went up against Woodland on July 22 as the season is about to heat up, but it won’t be until next Thursday before the matches begin to matter.

Rockmart hosts Cedartown for the scrimmage that beings at 5 p.m., and includes varsity and junior varsity games as the rivals face off.

The Lady Bulldogs after this week’s scrimmage open the season on the road at Temple High School facing off against the Lady Tigers and the Cass Lady Colonels in junior varsity and varsity action.

Also next Thursday, August 8, the Lady Jackets host Douglas County, Heard County and Unity Christian School in varsity volleyball action.

Additionally, mark those calendars for tournament action on August 12 as the Queen of the Court event at Rockmart brings JV squads into Polk County to play starting at 9 a.m., and again on August 19 as the annual At The Rock tournament is being held starting at 9 a.m.
