The Oakland-Craig Knights beat Pender 3-2 on the road last Tuesday night before falling 3-0 at home to Wisner-Pilger this past Tuesday night.
Oakland-Craig lost to the Gators in the first set 25-20, and dropped the second set 25-12 before losing the third set 25-21.
The Knights did a good job of beating the Pendragons and competing well in two sets against the Gators, in my opinion.
Oakland-Craig (8-23) takes on Fremont Bergan (16-14) in the first round of Sub Districts Monday night at Fremont Middle School.
Fremont Bergan beat Oakland-Craig 2-0 on October 11th at the Oakland-Craig Triangular.
Fremont Bergan has scuffled as of late though as they are just 3-9 in their last 12 matches.
I think Oakland-Craig has a legitimate shot to pull off the upset.
Oakland-Craig has played their best volleyball as of late as they won three out of their last four to end the regular season.
These girls need to dream and think big because anything is possible.
Oakland-Craig has to be confident in their abilities, and believe they can win.
It's the postseason, and I look for Oakland-Craig and Bergan to go wall to wall with one another.
I think Oakland-Craig will at least take one set for sure, if not a couple or win the match.
It has been a tough season for Oakland-Craig, but nothing would make their season more than to upset Bergan and send them home for the season.
Upsets happen all the time in the postseason, and I think this is one of those sub districts where the No. 4 seed can win it and advance to a district final.
Oakland-Craig has a lot of work to do if they want to make it that far, but Oakland-Craig really has nothing to lose in this match.
I suspect Oakland-Craig will play loose. If anything I expect Bergan to tighten up being they are the favorite.
All the pressure is really on Bergan. Not many expect Oakland-Craig to win.
All that really matters though is what the girls and coaches in the locker room believe and think.
Oakland-Craig has to have a good game plan to slow down Lexie Langley, Alexis Villwok, Alyssa Mendlik, and Haley Kempf.
Oakland-Craig has to be all in, and expect to win.
First serve is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
