The Logan View Raiders have started the season 1-4, losing 3-0 to Douglas County West on the road last Thursday night, falling 2-0 to David City, beating Winnebago 2-1 at the Fort Calhoun Invite on Saturday, and losing 2-0 to Tekamah-Herman and Twin River at the Twin River Triangular on Tuesday.
DC West defeated Logan View 25-10, 25-11, and 25-10. Raiders Coach Doug Bartek was without one of his star players due to knee problems. "We really did play hard, and we did do a lot of good things. I thought defensively we did a nice job. We did serve receive real well. I think we served pretty aggressively. So we found some positives that we could build on. And we hope to get Shay (Daugherty) back, but we'll just have to see how that turns out."
The Scouts knocked off the Raiders 25-16 in set one and 25-17 in set two.
Logan View defeated the Indians 25-18 in the first set and 25-11 in the third set while dropping the middle set 25-21.
The Titans downed the Raiders 25-16 in set one and 25-7 in set two.
Tekamah-Herman beat Logan View 25-19 in the opening set and 25-11 in the second set.
The Raiders are off to a difficult start this season, but at least Logan View has won a match and knows what it feels like to win.
The Raiders (1-4) host Pender (3-4) Tuesday night.
The Pendragons beat Emerson-Hubbard 2-0, but lost 2-0 to North Bend Central Tuesday night at the North Bend Central Triangular.
Pender appears to be an improved team over last season, but Logan View still has to view the Pendragons as a team they can compete with and beat.
The Raiders have to come out inspired and fired up, and cannot come out flat.
Logan View will have had a week to prepare for Pender by the time Tuesday rolls around so the Raiders should be plenty fresh for the Pendragons.
Pender should also be fresh and ready to go, which should make for a good match.
Logan View has to do their best to be competitive and win.
The Raiders have had a tough go of things so far, but a win over the Pendragons would no doubt get the season headed in the right direction for Logan View.
The Raiders have to take things one point, one set, and one match at a time, and continue to believe and play optimistic volleyball.
Logan View has to give each other positive encouragement on the court whether it be in practice or in matches.
The Raiders have to continue to fight and be scrappy. Logan View has to give an all out effort every time they take the court, and play with pride, passion, fire, toughness, tenacity, and grit.
The Raiders can't give up at any point this season. Logan View has to continue to do their best and believe that good things are still to come.
