Trotters realize net dream; advance to State B tournament
FLORENCE – Volleyball dreams can come true, if you believe, and perform best when it really counts. Now true believers in themselves after performing their best at the very best time, look who is going to State. The Plains Trotters exorcised the volleyball demons of tournaments past in Florence last week, ending a 27-year state tournament drought in Plains, winning second place and the west’s No. 2 seed into the State B portion of the Montana All-Class tournament at Brick Breeden Fieldhouse in Bozeman later this week. It is Plains’ first State B volleyball berth since way back in 1999. The Trotters open State B play at 4 p.m. Thursday against Shelby in the fourth match of the tournament. If the Trotters win versus Shelby they will face the winner between Jefferson County and Fairfield at 8 p.m. Thursday at the Brick. In the end, last week’s Western B tournament was not about that 27-year drought Plains had endured, it was about this year’s talented Trotters. Turns out that it was also a dream come true, a dream the team had dared to talk about before the season even began. “We have a large experienced group of seniors,” coach Kim
