Thank You, Citizens Bank! 🚀

Citizens Bank is proud to sponsor the 2026 Volleyball District Tournament, hosted at Rockcastle County High School!

We believe that supporting our local schools and student-athletes is about so much more than what happens on the court. It's about encouraging hard work, celebrating teamwork, and showing up for the young people who represent our communities so well.

We're excited to be part of this week's tournament and wish all the teams, coaches, and players the very best of luck! Here's to great competition, good sportsmanship, and plenty of exciting volleyball!
