Lincoln-The North Bend Central Volleyball team came up short against Bishop Neumann at the State Tournament on Thursday, losing 3-0.
The Cavaliers won set one 25-23, and sets two and three 25-18.
Brooke Fredrickson paced the Tigers with 13 kills with Kristin Lux putting down 11.
North Bend Central played their best volleyball in the first set, in my opinion, but couldn't get over the hump in any of the sets, especially the second and third.
North Bend Central ends the season at 28-3.
It was such a memorable season for the Tigers.
North Bend's biggest wins of the season came over BRLD (twice), Wisner-Pilger (twice), Lutheran High Northeast, Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family (twice), Twin River (twice), Shelby/Rising City, Tekamah-Herman, Clarkson/Leigh, Howells-Dodge, Stanton (twice), and West Point-Beemer.
All of those teams finished the season above .500 except for West Point-Beemer, who was a .500 team.
I felt this team played their best Volleyball when the stakes were high, and was a real dominant force this season.
You really couldn't of asked for more if you are the Tigers.
North Bend Central had a very good season and definitely proved they were a great team and are a great program.
From what I understand a lot of talent comes back next year.
It wouldn't surprise me to see the Tigers make state again next season.
These girls worked really hard last offseason, and it's going to take that same kind of effort, if not a better effort, to get back to the top again next year.
I'm sure these girls will be up to the task though.
I look for 2017 to be another really good year for North Bend Central. I think this season was just a preview of the great things that are to come with this program.
The Tigers now have to be considered legit and a top contender in Class C-1 Volleyball.
North Bend Central really proved some doubters wrong and turned some heads this season without a doubt.
