The Pender Volleyball Team went 0-3 at the Clarkson/Leigh Tournament on Saturday and lost 3-0 at Tekamah-Herman Tuesday night.
The Pendragons fell 2-0 to BRLD, Cross County, and Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family on Saturday.
The Wolverines defeated Pender 25-19 in set one, and 25-6 in set two.
The Cougars downed the Pendragons 25-21 in the first set, and 25-10 in the second set.
The Bulldogs beat Pender 25-14 in set one, and 25-18 in set two.
The Tigers claimed set one 25-11, set two 25-16, and set three 25-13.
Marin Jetensky led Tekamah-Herman (14-7) with 17 kills while Anna Wakehouse had 7.
Pender was led by Sadie Lamplot and Rylee Lehmkuhl, who had 4 kills each.
I thought the Pendragons did a good job being competitive in a set against all those teams, but ultimately Pender wasn't consistently good enough to pick up a win or even take a set.
The Pendragons (4-15) travel to Oakland to take on Oakland-Craig (3-19) Thursday night.
The Knights lost 2-0 to West Point-Beemer and DC West at their home triangular Tuesday night.
This match is a toss up if you ask me. I feel things could go either way.
It's a match between two teams who are struggling and still trying to find their way.
I look for the match to be close and compelling though. I think Pender will hang right in there with and compete well against Oakland-Craig.
It's a matter of the Pendragons competing well in all sets for them to come out on top though, in my opinion.
In a match like this one bad set could be the difference in the match so Pender has to play well throughout to maximize their potential of picking up a win.
Both teams are young, and fairly evenly matched, in my opinion.
The Pendragons beat the Knights 2-1 at the Northeast Nebraska Tournament on September 2nd, but both of these teams are different now than they were then, in my opinion.
With that said, I like Pender's chances of beating Oakland-Craig again.
The Knights are at home and the bigger school, and that's certainly an advantage for them, but I feel the Pendragons might have a little bit more talent than the Knights.
It really depends on who Oakland-Craig has available and healthy though as they've been battling injuries.
If the Knights have their key players back they're going to be tougher than if those players weren't playing.
If they're back it doesn't mean Pender can't still win though. I feel the Pendragons are capable of winning this match.
I do think the match will go five sets though. I think we're due for a good match on 107.9 the Bull Thursday night.
Speaking of the Bull, that's where you can hear the match beginning at 7:30 p.m. with Sports Director Tom McMahon.
It should be a great, compelling, and entertaining match, and I certainly hope you will join us for all the action.
