The Tekamah-Herman Volleyball Team lost 3-2 at Howells-Dodge last Thursday night before beating BRLD 3-1 at home Tuesday night to end the regular season.
In the Howells-Dodge match, the Tigers won set one 25-15. The Jaguars won set two 25-19 and set three 27-25. Tekamah-Herman took set four 25-12 before Howells-Dodge claimed set five 15-12.
Against the Wolverines, the Tigers won set one 25-16 before losing set two 26-24. Tekamah-Herman bounced back to take set three 25-17, and closed out the match with a 25-19 set four win.
Marin Jetensky led all players with 30 kills while Anna Wakehouse had 21.
Head Coach Becky Rennerfeldt. "I thought there was a big difference between set one and set two as terms of our defense. I thought we were kind of back on our heels a little bit, we weren't picking up some balls that I like our defense to pick up. And I just said if we're going to beat BRLD, they have one of the best defenses in our conference, I really believe that. They keep balls in play. And it's hard. You have to outdefend them. And we needed to do that, and then we talked about that after the 2nd set."
Rennerfeldt on Jetensky. "She does a really great job of the net. And today she was a rockstar in the back row too so I really appreciate her playing the back row. I thought she played really good tonight. But yeah she's hard to defend. She really gets some teams flustered."
Rennerfeldt talked to Tom McMahon about the upcoming sub-districts that get underway Monday. "There's going to be four teams there that it can be anybody's sub-district. Honestly whoever wants it more is going to get it I think. It's with Arlington and Fort Calhoun and West Point-Beemer and Logan View.
Tekamah-Herman (18-13) drew the 3 seed and takes on Arlington (14-10) in their opening match of the C1-4 Sub-District at Fremont High.
The Eagles won 3-2 at Fort Calhoun to end the regular season Tuesday night.
The Tigers lost 2-0 to Arlington in the regular season.
The Tigers can definitely win this Sub-District though, in my opinion.
Tekamah-Herman split with West Point-Beemer in the regular season, lost to Fort Calhoun, and beat Logan View.
Both the Tigers and Cadets have played good Volleyball this season, and I could see those two meeting in the Sub-District Final.
I could also see Fort Calhoun and Arlington playing for the right to go to a district final too though.
I feel this is anyone's sub-district to win, and whoever comes out and plays the best ball is most likely to win it.
Jetensky and Wakehouse have to step up the way they did against BRLD and lead this team.
When those two combine for 50+ kills Tekamah-Herman is always going to be difficult to beat.
If the Tigers are on top of their game and play the way they are capable of then they can beat anyone in this Sub-District I would say/
But if Tekamah-Herman struggles and plays like they have in certain matches this year then they're most likely going to get beat at some point.
I can't stress the importance of coming ready to play and playing a good match Monday night.
The Tigers must be on top of their game to have a shot at beating the Eagles, and whoever they play Tuesday night should they make it that far.
Tekamah-Herman has to want it more than Arlington and whoever else they may play in this Sub-District Tournament.
The season is on the line for the Tigers Monday night, and Tekamah-Herman must play like there is no tomorrow.
First serve is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on 107.9 the Bull.
