Separated by just 34 miles South Hardin and Dike-New Hartford collide Tuesday afternoon in the 2A quarterfinals at the state volleyball tournament in Cedar Falls. South Hardin is making its second consecutive and second-ever trip to the State Tournament this year, and the Tigers have a 36-5 overall mark this season. Co-Head Coach John Teske says there is one word to describe his team: united.

The Wolverines are the top-ranked team in 2A, and earned the top seed this fall with a record of 51-1. The tigers and Wolverines clash at two this afternoon at the Alliant Energy Powerhouse in Cedar Rapids.

Also today, North Tama takes on Gehlen Catholic this evening at 6:00.
