The Bancroft-Rosalie-Lyons-Decatur Wolverines beat Homer 3-0 in the C2-4 Sub-District Tournament at Wayne Monday night before losing 3-1 to Homer on Tuesday.
The Wolverines took set one from the Knights 25-16, set two 25-23, and set three 25-9.
I thought BRLD did well in the postseason. The Wolverines played real well against Homer, in my opinion.
BRLD concludes the year at 19-15.
The Wolverines started out kind of slow, but picked things up around the middle of the season and finished strong.
Big wins for BRLD came over Omaha Roncalli, Clarkson/Leigh, and Homer.
The only read bad losses for the Wolverines came to Oakland-Craig and Laurel-Concord-Coleridge.
BRLD loses six seniors in Tess Nottleman, Lexie Bacon, Kelly Wakeley, Kennedy Schuttler, Kylee Cole, and Justice Johnson.
All six are big losses for the Wolverines, in my opinion, and won't be easy to replace.
Nottleman, Bacon, and Wakeley are the biggest losses though I would say.
Talent returns though in Vicki Gatzemeyer, Sophia Henneman, Kelcee Bacon, Lauren Ahlers, Brandi Simonsen, Morgan Bonneau, and Tiahna Bonneau.
I think the future is really bright for this program.
This was the first year of the co-op between Bancroft-Rosalie and Lyons-Decatur Northeast, and I would say things went pretty well.
I think next year's team has a chance at even better success than this year's team had due to the fact these girls have had a year to play with one another.
The more these girls play together, and the more repetitions and work they put in, the better and stronger a team they will be.
Things generally improve from year 1 to year 2 in any new situation, and I look for that to be the case with BRLD next season.
I really think the Wolverines are going to be primed and ready for a breakout season in 2017.
There will be quite a few seniors on next year's team too so that should help out a lot.
