West Point-Beemer downed Tekamah-Herman 3-2 in the C1-6 Sub-District at Oakland-Craig Monday night.
The Tigers went up 2-0 after winning set one 25-18, and set two 25-21. But the Cadets roared back to win set three 26-24, set four 25-16, and set five 15-8.
Tekamah-Herman had to be disappointed and disheartened by the loss to West Point-Beemer. Credit the Cadets for the comeback, but the Tigers were so close to earning the sweep.
Tekamah-Herman concludes the season with a 12-19 record.
I thought the Tigers still did some nice things this year despite their record.
The wins over Wakefield, Central City, BRLD, Wisner-Pilger, Fremont Bergan, and Scribner-Snyder were pretty good, in my opinion.
The only real bad losses came to O'Neill and Pender. Other than that I thought Tekamah-Herman did alright for the most part.
The Tigers lose just one player in Liz Dlouhy, although she is a very significant loss.
Caty Gross, Marin Jetensky, Maleah Sheets, Lucy Green, and Anna Wakehouse are the key returners for Tekamah-Herman.
I think the Tigers have a chance to be much improved in 2017.
Tekamah-Herman returns almost everyone, and should be primed and ready to make a run next season.
I think the Tigers can definitely be above .500 in 2017, and perhaps even get to 20 wins.
Tekamah-Herman just has to work on being more competitive in all matches they play.
12 of the Tigers' 19 losses came via sweep this season whether that be in Triangulars or Tournaments, or just regular matches.
That has to change for Tekamah-Herman next season.
That can and will change by the Tigers working hard in the offseason and being dedicated to the sport.
These girls need to devote proper time to the game of Volleyball, and make the sport a big part of their lives.
I'm not suggesting every player needs to be a Volleyball junkie and gym rat, but the sport has to matter and be important to the players.
The offseason starts now. Any girls not out for a winter sport should do everything they can to stay active by working out and playing the game.
The more sports and other activities these girls participate in the better off they will be next season and in life.
