West Point-Beemer downed Tekamah-Herman 3-2 in the C1-6 Sub-District at Oakland-Craig Monday night before losing 3-0 to North Bend Central in the Sub-District Final Tuesday night.
Tekamah-Herman 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.
North Bend Central won set one 25-10, set two 25-13, and set three 25-16.
The Cadets were led by Makenna Weddle and Nicole Mitzel with 4 kills apiece.
I thought it was a good season overall for West Point-Beemer. The Cadets did a great job coming back against Tekamah-Herman, and fought as hard as they could against North Bend Central.
West Point-Beemer finishes the year at 15-15.
The Cadets' biggest wins of the season came over Tekamah-Herman (twice), Douglas County West, Scribner-Snyder, BRLD, and Twin River.
All of West Point-Beemer's losses came to teams above .500 with the majority being well above .500.
There's a lot to be proud of if you are the Cadets. I think the future is very bright for West Point-Beemer Volleyball.
The Cadets lose just one senior in Bethany Anderson, who is a significant loss.
West Point-Beemer returns loads of talent next year in Lizbeth Inzunza, Abby Kaup, Katie Pilakowski, Mitzel, Weddle, Brittney Hinkel, Leigh Jahnke, Andrea Hoffman, and Brooke Haase. among others.
The pieces appear to be in place for the Cadets to make a run and be really good in 2017.
The returning players and newcomers have to put in a lot of hard work and time in the offseason, but as long as they do that, West Point-Beemer should have a really good season next year.
I think 2017 has a chance to be a special season for the Cadets.
There will be a half dozen or so seniors on next year's team, and I think that will definitely serve West Point-Beemer well.
I think the Cadets are capable of winning anywhere from 20-25 matches next season.
I look for West Point-Beemer to do what they did this year, which is beat the teams they were supposed to, and pull off more big wins and upsets in 2017.
This was a transition year with it being Monica Wiehn's first season, and I felt things went very well for the Cadets.
With that said, I look for year 2 to be even better as I really think this program is headed in the right direction.
West Point-Beemer probably couldn't of asked for a whole lot more from this season.
With that said, watch out for the Cadets next year.
