Hubbert excited about prospects of working with Lady Bulldogs
By Jeremy Sellers
Special to The Democrat

New CCHS volleyball coach Athena Hubbert.

The Clarke County High School Lady Bulldogs started practicing this past week for the upcoming 2006 season.

The official start date is Thursday but CCHS used a few of their seven official summer work dates to get acquainted with their new coach.

The Lady Bulldogs will be under the direction of first year Head Coach Athena Hubbert. She comes from a three-year assisting job at Millry High School.

"I am excited about being here with these girls," said Hubbert. "I am looking forward to getting started here at Clarke County. We have a lot of work to get done before our first game."

Clarke County only lost one senior to graduation last season in Jessica Moore. They will have one returning senior in Carrie Gordon and one new senior in Krista Harvell. Three 11th graders will return in Schaefer Bradford, Jessica Johnson and Jasmine Morris.

Clarke County will look to improve on what was an average season last year under Coach Melanie Baxter, who took an assistant job at Millry. The girls stayed around .500 for the majority of the season.

"We are excited about getting to know our new coach," said senior team member Gordon.

The Babes will open up at home on Aug. 31 against T.R. Miller, who ended their 2005 season during the sectional tournament in Brewton, followed by a home contest on Sept. 5 with Spanish Fort. They will take their first road trip Sept. 7 up to Thomasville.

"Everything will fall into place by the first game," closed Hubbert.
