The Dragons will host their annual PINK NIGHT festivities on Thursday at 6 p.m. The purpose of PINK NIGHT is to raise money for breast cancer research and awareness as well as celebrating survivors and remembering those lost to the disease.

Everyone is invited for a great night of volleyball matches involving Clinton, Lenoir City, Halls, and Karns.

There will also be a silent auction, door prizes, and more.

Clinton will open play in the district tournament next Tuesday at Anderson County High School.

Time and opponent is yet to be determined.
