Head Coach Chelsey Quigley says the two teams meet again tomorrow morning at a day long tourney at Clarkson/Leigh. "I would like to see them again, whether it's now or during conference. Cause I know, my girls, we can play with them. And I completely believe in their ability to do so. I think we have a pretty solid defense, and if we can just put a couple of things together, then I think we can be successful against them."
The two teams will play at 9:00 a.m.
This is going to be another difficult match for Oakland-Craig, in my opinion, but I feel the Knights are better suited to beat the Jaguars this time around than the first time.
I'm not saying Oakland-Craig is going to beat Howells-Dodge, because that would be very tough, but anything can happen.
The Knights have to fix the mistakes they made against the Jaguars Thursday night, and come out and play better Saturday morning.
I think Oakland-Craig has a shot to get off to a hot start and perhaps take a set, or at least make one or more of them close.
This tournament is important for the Knights.
Oakland-Craig really needs to get their season on track, and perhaps they can do so in this tournament.
I don't know if it's realistic to say the Knights can win this tournament, but again, anything can happen so the possibility cannot be entirely ruled out.
Oakland-Craig has to play well regardless of if they are playing in consolation or in the winners bracket.
The Knights have to come ready to play, and must have a good showing to gain some momentum for next week.
Oakland-Craig has the West Point-Beemer Triangular on Tuesday with the host Cadets and Douglas County West so the Knights need to play well on Saturday to gain some confidence heading into those matches.
Oakland-Craig has to take things one match at a time and not get too ahead of themselves. All the Knights should be worried about at the moment is knocking off Howells-Dodge.
