The BRLD Wolverines topped Pender 3-1 at home last Tuesday night, and beat Tekamah-Herman 3-1 at home this past Tuesday night.
BRLD won set one over the Pendragons 25-20, and took set two 25-16 before losing set three 25-17. The Wolverines earned a 25-17 set four win.
The Tigers claimed the first set from BRLD 25-23, but the Wolverines bounced back to win sets two and three 25-19, and set four 25-15.
It appears BRLD continued the success they had in the East Husker Conference Tournament as the Wolverines have now won five out of their last six.
BRLD (18-14) battles Homer (14-13) in the opening round of Sub Districts on Monday at Wayne High.
The Wolverines topped the Knights 2-0 on September 8th at the Wakefield Tournament.
Homer went 1-1 at the Lewis and Clark Conference Tournament, beating Wausa 2-0, but losing 3-2 to Winside.
This is an intriguing battle if you ask me.
The Knights have also won five out of their last six and appear to be on a roll as well.
That should make for a good quality match Monday night.
This sub district is clearly Ponca's to win, I don't think there's any mistaking that, but I think BRLD has a good chance to make the sub district final.
This team has had a respectable season after starting off sort of slow.
The Wolverines have played their best volleyball down the stretch and given themselves a chance to be competitive night in and night out.
I look for BRLD to find a way to win against Homer, and I think the match will go five sets.
The Wolverines are a tough team, and I think BRLD will be able to outlast the Knights.
I think beating Homer once already gives the Wolverines the confidence needed to do it again.
Vicki Gatzemeyer, Tess Nottleman, Lexie Bacon, and Kelly Wakeley need to be on top of their game for BRLD though.
These four definitely make the Wolverines go, and I look for all four to step up in a big way and perform well for BRLD Monday night.
The Wolverines have to play their game, and perform at the highest level possible against the Knights.
Winning in the postseason is never easy so BRLD has to stay the course and fight through any tough moments that come their way.
I look for Monday night's match to be a seesaw back and forth battle. I'm sure both teams will trade blows every set until a winner is decided.
First serve is scheduled for 6:15 p.m.
