The Oakalnd-Craig Volleyball Team beat Homer and upset Wakefield 3-1 in the C2-2 Sub-District Tournament at Pender Monday night before losing 3-1 to BRLD in the Sub-District Final Tuesday night.
Homer took set one 25-19 before Oakland-Craig won set two 25-22, set three 25-19, and set four 25-23.
The Trojans won the 1st set 25-22 only to see the Knights take the 2nd 25-22, the 3rd 25-23, and the 4th 25-10.
Oakland-Craig won set one over the Wolverines, 25-15, before BRLD took set two 25-14, set three 25-20, and set four 26-24.
The Knights sure made a good run at it. Oakland-Craig gave it their best shot, and has nothing to hang their heads or be disappointed about.
The Knights end the season at 9-25.
It was a season full of injuries and setbacks for Oakland-Craig, but I think the one thing you can say about this team is that they never gave up or quit.
I think the little run the Knights made in the postseason is a testament to these girls and their will and ability to keep fighting and playing hard no matter what.
Oakland-Craig had a nice midseason win over BRLD at the Clarkson/Leigh Tournament for what I would call their biggest win of the year.
The Knights graduate some talent, including Beth Moseman, Natalia McNeill, and Ellie Weitzenkamp.
Oakland-Craig has some talent returning though in Dacey Nelson, Kennedy Benne, and Mya Guzinski.
I look for these three players to have big and dynamic seasons on the court next year.
I think this postseason run the Knights made will carry over into the offseason and next year.
I look for Oakland-Craig to build and feed off what they did in sub-districts.
I think the Knights will have a big offseason leading to a big season next year.
I feel next season has a chance to be a good bounce back year for Oakland-Craig, and think the Knights can have a season they're accustomed to having.
Lots of dedication, blood, sweat, and tears has to be put into Oakland-Craig's workouts this offseason, but if the Knights put in the work necessary to be a quality team then it should pay off next season.
These young girls that got valuable varsity experience this year will be a year older and more mature next season, and should have a better idea of what to expect heading into next season.
I really think next year has a chance to be an all around better season for Oakland-Craig.
The Knights were banged up and went through some growing pains this year, but I look for that to change next year.
