The Pender Volleyball Team lost 3-0 to Clarkson/Leigh in the D1-4 Sub-District Tournament at Oakland-Craig Monday night.
The Pendragons lost set one 25-16, set two 25-15, and set three 25-8.
I thought Pender competed well in the first two sets, but let things get away from them in the 3rd set.
The Pendragons end the season at 5-25.
It was a difficult season in many ways for Pender, but that doesn't mean things can't improve and things don't look bright in the future.
The Pendragons say goodbye to seniors Kaylin Sandall, Tymaree Krusemark, Brittni Beckman, Jenna Kubik, and Sadie Lamplot.
This is some good talent lost, and their contributions will be sorely missed. Pender won't have an easy time replacing these girls I would say.
Key returners for next year include Rylee Lehmkuhl, Zoey Lehmkuhl, and Katie Schumacher.
The Pendragons should be better next year despite losing a lot of talent.
Pender has to work hard in the offseason to build their program for the future.
Girls have to be on board with lifting weights, doing agility drills and conditioning, and participating in team camps, open gyms, and summer and club leagues as much as possible.
I know these girls have basketball and track to focus on too, but there's definitely a lot of room for growth and improvement at the game of Volleyball for this team.
The Pendragons have to be dedicated to the game throughout the course of the offseason, and be ready to go next season.
Pender is definitely capable of having a successful season in 2018, but it's going to take a lot of hard work, skill honing, and improvement from now until August for the Pendragons to make it happen.
These girls can definitely do it though, they just have to wake up everyday excited and ready to take on the challenge of each and every new day.
Pender has to use all the resources given to them, and go out there and want it badly.
The Pendragons have to dream what it would be like to make state and win a state title and be successful during their offseason workouts.
Champions are made from December to July, and Pender has to have an impressive offseason...one that gives them the confidence to turn all their hard work into great results on the court next fall.
The Pendragons are definitely capable of making all their dreams come true next year, they just have to be dedicated to working out hard and often this offseason.
I really think Pender will have a better season next year than they did this year.
