The Winnebago Indians went 0-4 at the Scribner-Snyder Invite on Saturday, and went 1-1 at the Omaha Nation Triangular on Tuesday.
Winnebago lost 2-0 to Oakland-Craig, Ponca, Elkhorn Valley, and the host Trojans on Saturday, before beating the host Chiefs and losing 2-1 to Walthill on Tuesday.
The Knights defeated the Indians 25-19 in set one, and 25-10 in set two.
Winnebago dropped set one to Scribner-Snyder, 25-14, and lost set two 25-15.
The Falcons downed the Indians 25-14 in the first set, and 25-10 in the second set.
Ponca beat Winnebago 25-9 in the opening set, and 25-6 in the second set.
Allie Frenchman had 9 digs for Winnebago.
The Indians took care of Omaha Nation in set one, 26-24, and set two, 25-16.
Winnebago took set one from the Blujays, 25-21, before Walthill won set two 25-16, and set three 25-14.
I think the Indians have been very competitive lately in many ways. Winnebago's progress may not be showing up in terms of wins and losses, but I feel this team is getting better.
The Indians (4-15) taken on Allen (3-13) and Whiting, IA (6-5) in their home triangular on Tuesday.
The Eagles went 0-3 at the Ponca Invite on Tuesday, although they beat Winnebago 2-0 at the Ponca Triangular on September 13th.
Allen isn't a bad team, but I feel the Indians have gotten better since their loss to the Eagles.
I think Winnebago has a shot to beat Allen, and sweep the triangular with a win over Whiting, IA.
Perhaps all Winnebago's hard work, blood, sweat, and tears will finally pay off and show in these matches.
I'm willing to bet the Indians have done everything in their power to be successful this year, and they appear to be well on their way to making good things happen.
A triangular sweep would be such a huge lift for this team. Winnebago has yet to sweep a triangular this year, and doing so would be a big deal.
The Indians won their own tourney a couple weeks back, and I think Winnebago has a chance to do well at home again.
The Indians will have had an entire week to prepare for both teams so that should help Winnebago out quite a bit.
The Indians just have to finish matches. They took the first set from Walthill, but couldn't close out the Blujays.
Winnebago has to put teams away when they have the chance.
The rest of the Indians' schedule doesn't appear to be terribly difficult outside the Lewis and Clark Tournament so I look for Winnebago to make some headway prior to that tournament starting.
The Indians have four home matches left, and if they could go 4-0 in those matches, it would be a huge lift and a big deal.
