In an earlier post we mentioned the outdoor volleyball match between the highly rated Pope and Walton volleyball teams that’s taking place Saturday night.
It’s at 7:30 p.m. at the Greyhounds football stadium (3001 Hembree Road), and you can purchase tickets here, starting at $7 for general admission.
There’s a lot going on in East Cobb on Saturday, kicked off early in the morning by the 20th Dog Days Run. It’s the Rotary Club of East Cobb’s biggest fundraiser, with more than $100K collected at last year’s event that was distributed to numerous community and Rotary charities.
The 5K course starts and finishes at the McCleskey-East Cobb Family YMCA (1055 East Piedmont Road) starting at 7:30 a.m., and there will be prizes and recognitions for age-group winners. Registration continues through the event day, and for virtual runners, with a $35 fee.
More Pope-Walton activities, this time apart: Both of their marching band programs are having recycling fundraisers Saturday. Pope’s is from 9-2 at the Northeast Cobb YMCA (3010 Johnson Ferry Road), while Walton’s is from 9-3 at the school (1590 Murdock Road).

This weekend is the last chance to see “Black Comedy” presented by CenterStage North at The Art Place (3330 Sandy Plains Road).
It’s the story of a struggling artist who holds a dinner party to impress a wealthy art collector and his fiancée’s father . . . . and then the lights go out.
The final shows are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, all starting at 8 p.m., and you can get your tickets here.
One more Pope vs. Walton event to mention, and it’s turned into something of an undercard for the volleyball match. The Greyhounds and Raiders football teams will be playing in a pre-season scrimmage at Pope Friday, as they tune up for their 2025 slates.
The tickets for that scrimmage start at $11 and you can get them here. Kickoff at the Hound Pound is 7:30 p.m.
