Oakland-Craig 0-5 in last five matches
The Oakland-Craig Knights went 0-3 at the Clarkson/Leigh Tournament on Saturday, and lost to West Point-Beemer and Douglas County West at the West Point-Beemer Triangular on Tuesday.
Oakland-Craig lost 2-0 to Howells-Dodge, and 2-1 to Pender and Cross County on Saturday.
The Falcons downed the Knights 2-0, and the Cadets beat Oakland-Craig 2-1.
The Jaguars beat the Knights 25-20 in set one, and 25-21 in set two.
Oakland-Craig won set two over the Cougars 25-21 while Cross County won sets one and three by the same score.
DC West defeated the Knights 25-22 in sets one and two.
Oakland-Craig took the first set from West Point-Beemer before the Cadets won set two 25-21, and set three 25-22.
I thought the Knights really competed hard and well on Saturday and Tuesday, they just came up short in every match.
Oakland-Craig (4-19) hosts Logan View (2-18) and Fremont Bergan (13-5) in a Triangular on Tuesday.
The Raiders lost 3-0 at BRLD last time out while Bergan won 3-0 at Scribner-Snyder this past Tuesday.
I think Oakland-Craig will beat Logan View, but I'm not sure about Oakland-Craig beating Bergan.
I think Oakland-Craig will be competitive, and has a chance to make things close and interesting, I just don't know if Oakland-Craig can perform well enough to knock off Bergan.
It has been a tough season for Oakland-Craig, but I feel the Knights have a shot to win some matches before the regular season ends.
I could definitely see Oakland-Craig pulling an upset or two in the East Husker Conference Tournament, and play the roll of spoiler.
I think the Knights have a chance to be successful in their remaining regular season matches following conference regardless of how Oakland-Craig fares next Thursday-Saturday.
There's not a lot of time left for the Knights to get things turned around, so Oakland-Craig needs to make some noise as soon as possible.
I think Oakland-Craig can perhaps take a set from Bergan, or at least make things close in two sets should that be all the match goes, giving Oakland-Craig the needed momentum and confidence to make some noise in the East Husker Conference Tournament.
I think Oakland-Craig made some strides on Saturday and Tuesday. Now it's just a matter of building off those matches, and turning those losses into wins in the coming weeks.
It's not too late for Oakland-Craig. The Knights have to keep battling and fighting hard, and get over the hump.
Oakland-Craig is definitely capable of doing that and making a little run before season's end.
