Northview volleyball seeks first win in home tri-match Saturday

By Johns Creek Bulletin staff · August 13, 2026 · 1 min read

The Northview Titans varsity volleyball team plays its first home match of the 2026-27 season Saturday, Aug. 15, hosting East Forsyth and Lassiter at 5 p.m. at Northview High School, 10625 Parsons Rd, Johns Creek.

The Titans are 0-2.

Northview dropped both matches at the Mount Pisgah Patriot Classic on Aug. 8, including a 2-0 loss in sets to Norcross, according to Norcross athletics. Saturday's tri-match gives the Titans a shot at their first victories of the young season before region play opens later this fall.

East Forsyth travels from Cumming in Forsyth County, while Lassiter, the Trojans out of Marietta in Cobb County, rounds out the three-team field. Both programs will make the trip to Johns Creek for the evening session.

Saturday will be a busy day across Northview athletics: the softball team also travels to Centennial for a 5:30 p.m. game, according to the Patch AM events calendar.

First serve is set for 5 p.m. Saturday at Northview.
