This Week in Bulldog Athletics

The Bulldog Volleyball and Soccer teams have a busy week this week. After a delayed start to the season due to inclement weather last week, Bulldog Men’s Soccer opens the season on Tuesday by visiting cross-county opponent West Stanly @ 6pm in the first of three straight days with matches in the middle of the week. Following the trip to face the Colts, the ‘Dogs return home on Wednesday to host conference foe Mt. Pleasant at 5:30pm. They wrap up their busy week by visiting South Stanly in a makeup match from last week’s postponed season-opener. After over a year of waiting due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bulldog soccer team is excited to finally get things rolling again here in Fall 2021.

Meanwhile the Lady Bulldog Volleyball team continues their campaign with two matches this week — they play host to Union Academy on Tuesday and travel to JM Robinson on Thursday in back-to-back match-ups with conference opponents.

The Bulldog football team continues its hiatus this week and will return to practice and competition next week.

The Bulldogs finish off the busy week when the AHS Athletic Booster Club hosts the inaugural Bulldog Dash 5K on Saturday morning at 8am. Cost to sign up for the 5K is $25 now and will increase to $30 on the morning of the race. All proceeds will directly benefit the student-athletes of Albemarle High School! You can sign up for the 5K here: BULLDOG DASH 5K SIGNUP
