Scribner-Snyder falls to Mead

The Scribner-Snyder Volleyball Team lost 3-1 at Mead Thursday night.

The Trojans earned a 25-23 set one win, but the Raiders won set two 25-15, and sets three and four 25-14.

Kaylee Boyle had 7 kills and 12 digs while Nicole Boyle notched 10 digs and 7 set assists.

I thought Scribner-Snyder did a great job of competing in the first set, but the Trojans just couldn't sustain the same level of play throughout the match it appears.

Scribner-Snyder (8-7) takes on Stanton (17-2) and West Point-Beemer (9-8) at the West Point-Beemer Triangular Tuesday night.

The Mustangs downed Howells-Dodge 3-1 at home Tuesday night while the Cadets lost 2-0 to DC West, but beat Oakland-Craig 2-0 at the Oakland-Craig Triangular Tuesday night.

The Trojans are a solid ball club, and may be able to beat West Point-Beemer, but it won't be easy with the Cadets being a C-1 foe.

Then you have Stanton, who is one of the best teams in C-2.

This will be a good test for what Scribner-Snyder will see in the East Husker Conference Tournament though.

A lot of those schools are C-1 or C-2, and so if anything this is very good competition for the Trojans.

I think Scribner-Snyder will get a very good idea of where they stand heading into the tournament at the very least.

I feel the Trojans have what it takes to be competitive in this Triangular, and again, perhaps knock off the Cadets.

Hardly anyone touches Stanton so I'm thinking Scribner-Snyder's chances of upsetting the Mustangs are not high.

The Trojans have to believe they can win though, and have to try their best to defy the odds.

Scribner-Snyder is a good team, and has been very competitive this year, and I look for the Trojans to compete their tails off in this Triangular as well.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Scribner-Snyder at least take a set from West Point-Beemer, if not beat the Cadets.

I also wouldn't be surprised if the Trojans kept one of the sets close with the Mustangs.

This is definitely a step up in competition for Scribner-Snyder like a lot of their matches are so the Trojans should be used to playing bigger schools by now.

Playing these types of teams is all too familiar for the Trojans, and I think that will help Scribner-Snyder on their way to what they hope is two victories.

Again, I'm not expecting the Trojans to win both matches, but I think a split is attainable at the very least.

Losing both matches would definitely be a downer and momentum killer heading into the conference tournament though, in my opinion.
