Dorchester Volleyball Serves Up New Season This Week

Bump. Set. Spike. 

The Dorchester High School volleyball team is ready to begin its 2024 campaign.

This year's DHS squad will likely be among one of the better teams in Class D-2. The Lady Longhorns, who finished at 16-11 last year and 15-13 in 2022, will return some key starters this season.

One insider who follows high school volleyball closely told the Times that this year's team will need to foster younger talent in order to overcome some of the tougher teams on the schedule. 

"On paper, they should win the majority their games," our source told us. 

"But the senior leaders will need to work hard to ensure their younger teammates contribute to their full potential."

DHS fans will know in short order how the 2024 Longhorn team stacks up. The team is scheduled to play four contests by Sept. 10, in addition to an unofficial "jamboree" contest versus Wilber-Clatonia at 5:30 p.m. this Tuesday, Aug. 27, at home.

The official season begins this Thursday, Aug. 29, with a 7 p.m. home contest against East Butler. A JV game will start at 6 p.m.

Here is the 2024 DHS volleyball schedule:

Meanwhile, the volleyball team is conducting its driveway painting fundraiser. It's a great way to demonstrate your Longhorn pride and support the volleyball team at the same time. See this Facebook post for more details or contact Coach Clouse or Coach Tachovsky.
