The Pender Volleyball Team lost 2-0 to Scribner-Snyder and Twin River on Saturday at the East Husker Conference Tournament at Logan View before falling 3-0 at home to BRLD Tuesday night.
The Trojans claimed set one 25-18, and set two 25-14.
The Titans defeated the Pendragons 25-11 in the first set, and 25-17 in the second set.
The Wolverines won the first set 25-20, the second set 25-11, and the third set 25-22.
I thought Pender did a really nice job of fighting with and competing against BRLD. The Pendragons showed no quit and that they are going to fight until the very end.
Pender (5-21) takes on Clarkson/Leigh (21-8) on the road Monday night.
The Patriots knocked off Oakland-Craig 3-1 at home Tuesday night.
Clarkson/Leigh is a very good, tough team, and figure to be really difficult for the Pendragons to beat.
The Patriots have a very talented junior class that is living up to or exceeding expectations.
Pender has to come out and fight and play hard though. The Pendragons can't back down from Clarkson/Leigh and just hand the Patriots the match.
Pender has to be ready to go from the start, and must maintain focus and a high level of play throughout the match.
If the Pendragons could keep all sets close and/or at least take a set I think that could serve as a moral victory for Pender.
The Pendragons have to create their own energy and momentum, and execute in all facets of the game.
Pender has to have good sets and good passes and hits. The attackers have to hit the ball with authority and hit their spots with soft hits too.
Having good court awareness and presence will be important for the Pendragons as well, in my opinion.
Simple things like knowing if a ball is going to be in or out could go a long ways in deciding a good chunk of points and perhaps a set or two I would say.
Pender has to be on top of their game, and must play their best match of the season to compete.
It hasn't been the most ideal season for the Pendragons, but Pender doesn't appear to be quitting whatsoever.
There seems to be a lot of fight in this squad until the very end, and those are qualities and traits that will benefit these girls for years to come on and off the court.
The Pendragons have to keep working, fighting, and playing hard no matter the match or situation they're facing.
It's likely these two will meet in Subdistricts as well.
