The Pender Pendragons are 3-4 so far this year, having lost 2-1 to Lutheran High Northeast last Thursday at the Northeast Nebraska Classic, 2-0 to Guardian Angels Central Catholic at the Classic last Friday, before beating Oakland-Craig 2-1 and Allen 2-0 on Saturday, but losing 2-1 to BRLD the same day.
Pender fell 2-0 to North Bend Central, but beat Emerson-Hubbard 2-0 at the North Bend Central Triangular on Tuesday.
Lutheran High Northeast took set one from the Pendragons 25-18 before Pender won set two 25-22. Lutheran High Northeast claimed set three 25-6.
The Bluejays knocked off Pender 25-23 in set one and 25-17 in set two.
The Pendragons defeated the Wolverines 27-25 in set one before BRLD took sets two and three 25-15.
The Knights claimed set one 26-24 before Pender won set two 25-10 and set three 25-13.
The Pendragons beat Allen 25-22 in the first set and 25-13 in the second set.
The Tigers defeated Pender 25-9 in set one and 25-22 in set two.
The Pendragons downed the Pirates 25-21 in the opening set, and 25-15 in the second set.
Pender has played very competitive volleyball this season, in my opinion. The Pendragons have taken or competed well in a set against some of the good teams on their schedule, and has won the matches they were supposed to for the most part.
Pender (3-4) is at Logan View (1-4) Tuesday night.
The Raiders lost 2-0 to Tekamah-Herman and Twin River at the Twin River Triangular on Tuesday.
Logan View has yet to find their way this season, and the Pendragons hope the Raiders' struggles continue come Tuesday night.
Logan View's lone win is over Winnebago, and given the way Pender has played so far this season, you would think the Pendragons would win, but Pender still has to come ready to play and cannot afford to take the Raiders lightly.
The Pendragons probably should of beat BRLD. I feel that was a match Pender let get away.
That match is in the past though, and I'm sure the Pendragons have let it go, but hopefully Pender learned they have to do their best to play well in every match.
The week sets up nicely for the Pendragons, and if they can take care of business against both Logan View and Wakefield next week, they will find themselves above .500 heading into the Wisner-Pilger Triangular.
There's a long way to go and a lot of season yet for Pender, but the Pendragons are already doing better this year than they did last year.
I look for Pender to continue their winning ways next week, and pick up two wins.
Both matches are on the road against teams that are in higher classes than the Pendragons so both matches are huge opportunities for Pender to pick up some extra power points.
The Pendragons have to remain hungry and must keep their eye on the prize.
Next week is an important week for Pender, and the Pendragons have to come through and perform well.
