The Tekamah-Herman Tigers went 1-0 last week, and are 1-1 so far this week, sweeping Madison 3-0 on the road last Tuesday before downing Oakland-Craig 2-0 and losing 2-0 to Stanton at the Oakland-Craig Triangular this past Tuesday.
The Tigers downed the Dragons 25-17 in set one, 25-13 in set two, and 25-15 in set three.
Tekamah-Herman defeated the Knights 25-8 in the first set, and 25-23 in the second set.
The Mustangs knocked off the Tigers 25-13 in set one, and 29-27 in set two.
I thought Tekamah-Herman did a nice job competing against Stanton, and did an even better job taking care of business against Oakland-Craig and Madison.
The Tigers (7-10) take part in the Raymond Central Invite on Saturday.
The host Mustangs are 5-8 on the season, although they have won five out of their last six.
I don't expect Raymond Central, or any other team in this tournament for that matter, to be easy for Tekamah-Herman, but I think given the way the Tigers have played the last couple of weeks, they have a chance to be successful.
This team has overcome quite a bit, and has shown tremendous toughness and resiliency throughout the season.
Tekamah-Herman may not win this tournament, but I look for the Tigers to have a respectable showing and hold their own.
I think you will see a very determined Tekamah-Herman team on the floor, battling and gutting things out until the very end, regardless of the score of the match.
I think the Tigers have what it takes to win more than they lose on Saturday, and it's really all about Tekamah-Herman playing their game if you ask me.
The Tigers can't let anything or anyone distract them from accomplishing what they hope to accomplish.
All Tekamah-Herman should be worried about, and who and what they need to focus on, are themselves, their coaches, and perhaps their fans too.
The Tigers have to feed off of whatever contingent of Tekamah-Herman fans make the trip, and use it to their advantage.
The Tigers have to be excited and thrilled about the opportunity to have a successful day of volleyball.
Tekamah-Herman has to hang in there tough in all matches, and continue to claw, scratch, fight, and battle until the end no matter what.
If the Tigers can do that, they should give themselves a fairly decent chance to win some matches, and perhaps steal a set or match they wouldn't of been able to win otherwise.
The tide appears to be turning for Tekamah-Herman so hopefully the Tigers can keep up their good play.
