After a pair of volleyball losses last week the Lady Tigers of Noxapater High School got back into the gym on Friday and left the practice refocused on the rest of the season.
“We had a really good practice,” said Noxapater head coach Pam Mills. “We are hopefully going to play our best volleyball of the year at the end of the season to help us heading into next year.
“We have got to end on a positive note so they can take everything they have learned and move forward,” she said. “We are just going to continue to build.”
