     For the first time since March, 5, Hayesville High School will be competing in an athletic competition. The Lady Yellow Jacket volleyball squads will be the first teams to usher in the COVID-19 era of sports for HHS. 

    Head coach Tammy Dills said the first goal is to get the season in. That sentiment was echoed by senior player Maggie Plemmons who said,”We don’t know if or when we might get shut down so I’m going to play every game like it’s my last because it could be.”

    Hayesville started the season on the road against Nantahala Tuesday, Nov. 17. The result of that match was unknown at press time. The Lady Jackets will dive into Smoky Mountain Conference play Thursday, Nov. 19 on the road against Robbinsville.
