The Emerson-Hubbard Volleyball Team won 3-0 over St. Edward in the D2-3 Sub-District Play-in-Match at Wisner-Pilger Monday night before losing 3-0 to Humphrey St. Francis.
The Pirates defeated the Beavers 25-19 in set one, and 26-24 in sets two and three.
Emerson-Hubbard lost set one 25-7, set two 25-6, and set three 25-8 to the Flyers.
I thought the Pirates did a great job competing against and beating St. Edward, but simply didn't have it against Humphrey St. Francis.
Emerson-Hubbard ends the season at 5-23.
The Pirates lost to some really good teams this year and competed well at times this season, but also lost some matches that make you scratch your head.
Emerson-Hubbard finished with the exact same record as last year so it's hard to say progress was made, and I don't think this year was any different than last for the Pirates.
Emerson-Hubbard loses 4 seniors in Hope Gubbels, Paige Kinnaman, Taylor Lamp, and Brook Ahlers.
These girls meant a lot to Pirate Volleyball and will be missed without a doubt.
Key returners for next year include Megan Gunderson, Courtney Bokemper, Taylor Daum, Addison Mackling, and Isabella Parker-Diaz.
Emerson-Hubbard needs to have a huge, big, and great offseason to get better and improve before the start of next season.
The Pirates have to be excited and pumped up during offseason workouts, and have to be ready to tear things up.
Emerson-Hubbard has to be intense, and locked and loaded during weightlifting and open gym sessions, plus during agility drills and sessions as well.
The Pirates must be committed and dedicating to working hard and improving in the offseason, and have to challenge themselves everyday physically to get themselves in better shape for next year.
Eating and dieting properly is important for these girls too.
Emerson-Hubbard has to take care of their bodies like any other good, quality athletes would, and train hard everyday if possible.
Participating in team camps, open gyms, summer leagues, and even club Volleyball is very important for these girls I would say.
I know they have sports like Basketball and Track to worry about too, but the Pirates could really benefit from getting better at the game of Volleyball.
Emerson-Hubbard has to push and challenge themselves throughout the course of the offseason, and prepare themselves for an improved season in 2018.
Champions are made from December through July, and the Pirates have to work as hard as possible during that time.
