Midwest Made: Harrisburg building a volleyball legacy to inspire future athletes

HARRISBURG, S.D.-- When it comes to the dominance of the Harrisburg High School volleyball program, the numbers truly do all the necessary talking. The Tigers have won seven South Dakota state titles since 2005, a dynasty that includes the last four championships. In that span they’ve had an 87-match winning streak. They’ve now also been invited twice to one of the most prestigious prep volleyball tournaments in the nation. And, both times, they’ve put up a good record against the best of the best from across the country. The school is now also on the list of regular stops for NCAA Division I volleyball powerhouse programs and its players are starting to get recruited heavily. One, Josalyn Samuels, will be heading to the University of Nebraska, a perennial collegiate powerhouse, next fall. Another, Sophomore Julia Masselink, is going to be sought after when she's eligible to commit to a college program this coming June.
