The Logan View Raiders are 0-4 in their last four matches as they fell 2-0 to Scribner-Snyder and Wisner-Pilger at their home triangular last Thursday, and 2-0 to North Bend Central and Stanton at the North Bend Central Triangular on Tuesday.
The Trojans downed the Raiders 25-23 in set one, and 25-21 in set two.
The Gators beat Logan View 25-10 in set one, and 25-11 in set two.
The Tigers took care of the Raiders in set one 25-8, and earned a 25-10 win in set two.
The Mustangs defeated Logan View 25-10 in the first set, and 25-21 in the second set.
Head Coach Doug Bartek says his team competed well on Tuesday.
"Yeah we were pretty pleased with the way our kids stepped up. We knew going into the triangular that that was a really tall order. But what we wanted to do was we just wanted to play hard, improve, and be able to walk off knowing that we gave our best shot, and I really think we did."
3-27 Logan View and 5-21 Winnebago meet in Sub-Districts in Oakland on Monday.
The Raiders downed Winnebago 2-1 at the Fort Calhoun Tournament on September 3rd.
Bartek feels his team has improved from the time when they beat the Indians in the regular season.
"We know we're a lot better now than we were back then. We expect Winnebago to be better too as everybody is during the course of a long season. But we just think we've shored up some areas that were some concerns early on, particularly in our serve receive."
Ashley Uhing and Taylor Ruwe are the keys for Logan View I would say. Both need to have good matches and step up and perform well for this team.
The Raiders can definitely beat the Indians again, and should believe it.
Logan View can't get down on themselves if they are struggling at any point on Monday though.
The Raiders have to right the ship and keep fighting and battling the entire time against Winnebago, and North Bend Central, should they play the Tigers.
Logan View is young, and I think a win over the Indians would be good for future postseason success.
I don't know if the Raiders can upset North Bend Central, but anything is possible, and if Logan View gets the opportunity to play the Tigers, they should embrace it.
The seniors have to do their best to play well in what could be their final match or matches of high school volleyball, and must lead by example.
This team has to remain positive at all times, and never give up no matter the situation.
First serve is set for 5:00 p.m. at Oakland-Craig. The winner plays North Bend Central at 7:30.
Monday's match(es) can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
