MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. | The 2024-25 season gets underway in earnest for Georgia College & State University athletics teams this weekend.

Volleyball tips off their season at home inside the Centennial Center Friday (Sept. 6) and Saturday (Sept. 7) as they welcome four teams - Albany State University, Lee University, Southern Wesleyan University and Young Harris - for the 2024 Bobcat Classic. GCSU will play each day at 2 and 7 p.m.  The Bobcats will face Southern Wesleyan (2 p.m.) and Albany State University (7 p.m.) Friday and will conclude the tournament Saturday against Lee (2 p.m.) and Young Harris (7 p.m.). Tickets are $10 per day for adults and $5 for children.
