The Scribner-Snyder Trojans are just 2-6 in their last 8 matches, falling 3-1 at home to BRLD last Tuesday, 3-1 at home to Humphrey/Holy Family last Thursday, and 2-0 to Ponca, Oakland-Craig, and Elkhorn Valley at the Scribner-Snyder Invite on Saturday, before beating Winnebago 2-0, also at the same invite on Saturday.

Head Coach Shelly Schulenberg calls it a tough loss. "It's kind of a bummer. You never want to lose games where you fight hard to get through, and you lose the two sets, and we came back and took that third set, and they fought all the way through, and yeah it's always just a bummer. Been there done that in my day, and it's no fun in this decade either."
The Bulldogs won the first set 25-12 and the second set 25-15 before the Trojans took the third set 26-24. Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family won the fourth and decisive set 26-24.
Miller finished with 11 kills and 12 digs while Kaylee Boyle notched 9 kills and 19 digs. Nicole Boyle registered 11 blocks, 15 digs, and 25 set assists while Schreck totaled 9 blocks.

I think Scribner-Snyder has been fighting some injuries to go along with a tough schedule lately. I believe that's what's sort of led to their inconsistency.
The Trojans (6-9) host Fremont Bergan (11-3) Tuesday night.
The Knights swept Omaha Brownell-Talbot 3-0 at home Thursday night.
Fremont Bergan appears to be a tough, legitimate team who has played some good teams and won some big matches.
This is going to be another tough match for Scribner-Snyder, in my opinion.
The Knights are C-2, and I think being the bigger school helps out Fremont Bergan in this case.
It's not to say the Trojans can't win, because they can, but it's going to be really tough.
If anything, this match will help prepare Scribner-Snyder for the rest of the season, and help strengthen them for the postseason.
Not all is bad having to take on the Knights. There are a lot of things the Trojans can learn and take away from this match.
I look for Scribner-Snyder to play Fremont Bergan tough. Whether that's just competing in and losing all three sets, or actually winning a set or two, or winning the match, I don't know, but I fully expect the Trojans to make a match of things with the Knights.
Scribner-Snyder is experienced, and has been there and done that before, so I don't expect the Trojans to be scared of or back down from Fremont Bergan at all.
Scribner-Snyder has to eliminate hitting errors, and have a good hitting percentage.
Defense is of equal importance for the Trojans. Scribner-Snyder has to have good judgement on balls going in or out, and must communicate with one another on serve receives.
The Trojans are going to need to play their best match of the season to knock off the Knights, in my opinion.
Fremont Bergan appears to be the real deal, and Scribner-Snyder can't afford to have an off night or struggle at any point.
A 5-point run here and there from the Knights could make a huge difference in the match. There's really not a whole lot of room for error for the Trojans.
Scribner-Snyder just has to give it their best shot, and see what happens. The Trojans have to expect to win though.
