The 2022 high school volleyball season is scheduled to open in the middle of August.

Harlan County will open the season Aug. 15 at Perry Central.

The Harlan Lady Dragons will start Aug, 16 at home against district-rival Middlesboro.

In 2021, the Lady Bears finished the season with a 7-17 record. Harlan closed the season with a 7-9 mark.

The Lady Dragons are coached by Shawna Cox. Harlan County’s coach is Cathy York.

“This will be my fourth year coaching,” said Cox. “Marissa Marlowe has really stepped up her game. Carly Thomas is coming back after a pretty serious injury last year.”

Cox is hoping for an awesome season.

“An awesome season for the girls, with a positive learning environment, bonding and of course, winning,” Cox added.

Bell County claimed the 52nd District Tournament for the third consecutive year.

Corbin won the 13th Region Tournament.
