The West Point-Beemer Cadets are 2-3 over their last five matches, losing 2-0 to Battle Creek, beating Laurel-Concord-Coleridge 2-1, and falling 2-0 to Twin River at the Stanton Tournament on Saturday before beating Logan View 2-0 and losing 2-1 to Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family at their home triangular on Tuesday.
The Bears grabbed set one from the Cadets 25-11 before West Point-Beemer won set two 25-17 and set three 25-15.
The Braves downed the Cadets 25-16 in the first set, and 25-18 in the second set.
The Titans defeated West Point-Beemer 25-14 in set one, and 28-26 in set two.
The Cadets beat the Bulldogs 26-24 in the first set before losing sets two and three 25-20 and 25-17, respectively.
West Point-Beemer knocked off the Raiders 25-10 in set one, and 25-17 in set two.
I think the Cadets are playing some respectable volleyball right now. Given all the talent West Point-Beemer lost last year and given the fact they have a new coach, I would say things are going well.
The Cadets (4-5) take on North Bend Central (11-1) at home Thursday night.
The Tigers swept Oakland-Craig 3-0 at home Tuesday night.
North Bend Central has been on a roll as they have only lost three sets this season, including just one among all their wins.
The Tigers are a tough team, and present a difficult challenge for the Cadets.
I look for West Point-Beemer to come out tough, aggressive, and fiery.
I think the Cadets will play inspired volleyball, and challenge North Bend Central in every set.
West Point-Beemer may not win the match, but if anything, I think the Cadets can gain confidence in knowing they can play with a top team in C-1 if things are close.
West Point-Beemer has to believe they can win though. The Cadets have to believe in their abilities and trust one another.
West Point-Beemer has to continue to grow and improve to become an elite team. I think the Cadets have taken many positive steps in the right direction, and are a good, solid team at the moment, I just think it's a case of West Point-Beemer is going to get better with time.
It has been a respectable season so far for the Cadets, and I look for these girls to work hard and give it their all Thursday night.
The Tigers might be too strong for West Point-Beemer in the end, but the Cadets still need to do everything in their power to give North Bend Central their best shot.
West Point-Beemer can't back down from the Tigers. The Cadets have to be strong at the net and in the back row to be successful.
West Point-Beemer has to match North Bend Central's intensity level, and do their best to outwork and outhustle the Tigers.
The Cadets have to get better in any ways possible, and be proud of their efforts, win or lose.
Catch the match on 107.9 the Bull. First serve is slated for 7:30 p.m.
