GHC’s men’s soccer and women’s volleyball teams have announced their finalized fall schedules for their sophomore campaigns. Both programs kick off their seasons in early September.
Scott Akemon and Bethany Blevins will once again lead the soccer program, coming off a productive inaugural season. Clifton Puckett will assume the helm of women’s volleyball, who will see 9 players returning from the 2023 squad.
Men’s soccer will kick off at home against Georgia Tech on Sunday, September 8th before travelling to Furman University on September 15th. Then they will play under the lights at home against UGA September 20th, with a short rest time before travelling to Emory two days later. The Charger’s final home match will be September 29th against Clemson before wrapping up the season October 6th at Georgia Tech. Home matches will be played at the Bartow County College and Career Academy (Old Cass) while the Chargers’ home field in Cartersville is under construction.

They follow up with another match at Floyd Campus September 14th against Gadsden State and Gordon State. The Lady Chargers round out September at Reinhardt and Gordon State, with a home match against Trinity Baptist College in Cartersville.
