The 2014 version of the Jefferson Davis Community College volleyball team will tip off their season Saturday, Aug. 23 with a road tournament at Selma’s Patriot Classic.
The schedule for JDCC this season shows 20 total games and the tournament in Selma. JDCC will play nine home games and 11 away games.
The Lady Warhawks will have 14 conference games against seven conference foes. Conference opponents for JDCC this year include Wallace State-Selma, Snead, Faulkner State, Lawson, Southern Union, Gadsden and Wallace-Selma.
JDCC’s first home game of the season will be against Southern Union on Friday, Sept. 5.
The Lady Warhawks of JDCC will be under the direction of new head coach Steven Dickey this season. Dickey replaces Allen Gainer, who served as head coach for JDCC for one season.
“For as long as I have been here, volleyball has never had a coach that wasn’t splitting time with another sport,” Gainer said. “When (athletic director) Mr. (David) Jones told me that the school would have an opportunity to hire someone specifically for volleyball, I thought that it was in the best interest of both volleyball and basketball to go that direction.  I am excited about the girls that have agreed to play this year, and I look forward to seeing them have a great season with Coach Dickey’s help.”
Gainer also serves as the school’s basketball coach.
