The West Point-Beemer Cadets went 1-2 at the Wisner-Pilger Invite on Saturday, beating Neligh-Oakdale 2-1, but losing 2-1 to Wynot, and 2-0 to St. Paul.
The Warriors grabbed set one from the Cadets, 25-21, before West Point-Beemer went on to win set two 25-15, and set three 25-10.
The Cadets took set one from the Blue Devils, 25-23, before Wynot rebounded to win sets two and three 25-9 and 25-22.
The Wildcats defeated West Point-Beemer 25-16 in both sets.
I don't think the Cadets played bad, I just think West Point-Beemer ran into some tough competition. I think the Cadets played respectable Volleyball this past weekend.
West Point-Beemer (9-10) takes on Stanton (17-4) and Scribner-Snyder (6-11) Tuesday night at the Scribner-Snyder Triangular.
The host Trojans lost 3-1 at home to Mead Thursday night while the Mustangs fell 3-1 at Howells-Dodge last time out, which also happened to be on Thursday.
This is an interesting Triangular because Stanton still could be without the services of Jessie Brandl.
If she's back from mono then the Mustangs will be very dangerous, but if she's not, then Stanton is vulnerable.
I think the Cadets have a shot to win this triangular if Brandl is out.
I look for West Point-Beemer to get their best shot from Scribner-Snyder, but win.
The match with the Mustangs, on the other hand, is a toss up without Brandl.
I'm honestly not sure if the Cadets can beat Stanton if Brandl is playing so it will be interesting to see what happens.
West Point-Beemer has to prepare and be ready for both teams though. The Cadets will no doubt get both teams' best shots, and must be ready to fight hard whether they're behind or ahead.
West Point-Beemer has to put teams away when they have the chance.
The Cadets had a shot to put away Wynot on Saturday, but instead dropped the second set 25-9.
I know the Blue Devils are good, but if West Point-Beemer wants to become an elite, championship type team, those are the matches you must compete in better throughout.
The Cadets did a great job competing in sets one and three, I just feel like set two could have been closer.
Credit West Point-Beemer for what they've done so far this season though. I definitely feel this Cadets' program is headed in the right direction.
A triangular sweep on Tuesday would be absolutely huge for this team and the program as a whole so we will see if West Point-Beemer can get the job done.
There's a Marrow Donor Registry Drive from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and it's also Pink Out night.
