The season is early, and we have started looking at the seeding for each of the 11-Man classes of football. Interestingly, looking at 11B we noticed the #5 seed is the MVP Titans ... AND the Mobridge-Pollock Tigers! We have had several conversations with people and the MOPO squad has been repeatedly mentioned, as the hidden gem and unknown commodity.
So, we quickly took a look at the team by the "Mighty Mo" and found they are undefeated (2-0) with victories over Miller/Highmore-Harrold (48-0) and Lead/Deadwood (42-0). Not bad... averaging 45 points per game, while only surrendering 3.5 ppg!
Examining the components of the early season success we find:
#12 QB Caden Hensley17 Comp 21 Att 299 Yds 6 TD 0 Int 80.9%
The schedule could set up nicely for some late season SHOWDOWNs! The last two at HOME. Noting, the last being with ironically... TIGERS... the Groton Area Tigers.

BUT, before getting there can they defeat the likes of Aberdeen Roncalli, who they face fresh off last year's victory ended a 19-year drought? Can they handle the LONG road trip to Hot Springs to face the Bison? Can they handle a 'hiccup' opponent in the Sisseton Redment, who can't be overlooked?
