The Emerson-Hubbard Volleyball Team split the Wynot Triangular Tuesday night, beating Walthill 2-0, but losing 2-0 to the host Blue Devils. The Pirates also lost 3-1 at home to Homer Tuesday night.
The Blue Devils topped the Pirates 25-11 in set one, and 25-22 in set two.
Emerson-Hubbard defeated the Blujays 25-16 in the first set, and 25-23 in the second set.
The Knights won set one 25-16 before losing set two 27-25. Homer took set three 25-20, and set four 25-21.
Tough break losing to the Knights after beating them earlier in the year, but I thought the Pirates did a nice job topping Walthill.
Emerson-Hubbard (3-16) travels to Wakefield (6-12) to take on the Trojans Tuesday night.
Wakefield lost 3-0 at Ponca this past Tuesday night.
I think the Pirates have an opportunity to compete in this match, and maybe win it.
Emerson-Hubbard has shown some fight and competitiveness lately, and I think the Pirates can hold their own in this match.
The Trojans aren't a huge powerhouse or anything so I think Emerson-Hubbard has the potential to do well in this match.
Even if the Pirates don't win I think they can keep the sets close and perhaps take a set or two.
Emerson-Hubbard has to come out and play with pride, passion, fire, tenacity, grit, mental and physical toughness, as well as school spirit.
The Pirates have to be proud to dawn the purple and gold uniforms they wear, and play for each other and the betterment of the team.
Not that Emerson-Hubbard is playing for themselves or as individuals, but the closer this team can be the better they will play, in my opinion.
The Pirates have to keep chugging along and maturing and growing as young ladies and players.
Emerson-Hubbard has to keep showing improvement and the promise that they will be better in the future.
It hasn't been the type of season the Pirates were hoping for I'm sure, but there's still time left to do something, although the schedule is pretty tough after Wakefield.
Emerson-Hubbard just has to maximize their abilities and play up to their potential. The Pirates have to keep battling and fighting hard no matter what the odds, and give themselves an opportunity to have success from here on out.
Nothing can be done about past matches so Emerson-Hubbard has to simply move forward, and keep growing and improving every time they take to the floor.
This match with the Trojans Tuesday night is another opportunity to learn, grow, improve, and pick up a win.
