South Forsyth’s new gym was built just in time to host arguably the biggest high school volleyball play date of the season.
The Lady War Eagles will again host their All City Play Date tomorrow starting at 9 a.m. South and 19 other teams, including Lambert and West Forsyth, will play matches on five different courts throughout the day. Proceeds from the event will go to benefit the Atlanta chapter of Supporting Adoption & Foster Families Together (SAFFT).
And the caliber of teams should attract plenty of fans. Among the 20 teams are three defending state champions (Blessed Trinity, Buford, Walton), four returning state runner-ups (Landmark Christian, St. Pius, Sequoyah, South), four more state semifinalists and 19 teams in all who made the state playoffs last season.
Of particular local interest: South will face Walton at 2 p.m., on Court 3 in a rematch of last season’s Class 6A state championship.
“This will be some amazing volleyball,” Wren said.
