MOBRIDGE - When the Mobridge-Pollock Tigers came up one match short of reaching the state tournament a year ago, it triggered a determined effort to work hard in the off season and come back with a renewed energy in hopes of getting over the hump this season.
Those off-season results have shown up so far this season as the squad is off to a 10-0 start and has dropped just three sets so far this season.
"Every year most teams have the goal to go to state and our girls obviously had that goal as well. I think that loss made some of the returning players realize that they might just have to work just a little bit more in the off season, so they really hit it hard this past year," said Mobridge-Pollock coach Rose Henderson.
As a result, the players were part of the Junior Olympic program in Aberdeen, attended camps on their own, and got in the weight room.
"They worked really hard getting stronger," Henderson said, "so we’re a little more physical team this year."
