The Oakland-Craig Volleyball Team went 1-4 at the Northeast Nebraska Volleyball Classic last week, losing 2-0 to North Bend Central, but beating Wakefield-Allen 2-0 last Thursday at Wisner-Pilger, and then falling 2-0 to West Point-Beemer and Wisner-Pilger, and 2-1 to BRLD at the Classic on Saturday.
The Knights took set one from the Trojans 25-12 and earned a 25-15 set two win.
The Tigers topped Oakland-Craig 25-21 in set one and 25-23 in set two.
The Knights won set two over the Wolverines 25-16, but lost set one 25-22 and set three 25-17.
The Gators nabbed set one 25-11 and set two 25-13.
The Cadets took the first set 25-16 and the second set 25-18.
I think Oakland-Craig has been competitive at times so far this year, but the Knights have struggled at times too.
Oakland-Craig (1-5) takes part in the Boone Central Invite on Saturday.
Other teams in the tournament include the host Cardinals, Ord, Columbus Lakeview, Stanton, and Tekamah-Herman.
Some tough teams in there for sure, but some teams that the Knights should be able to hold their own against and beat as well.
Oakland-Craig has had a week off and a lot of time to prepare for this tournament.
I look for the Knights to come out sharp and ready to go from the get go.
Perhaps this is the tournament that can get things turned around for Oakland-Craig.
The Knights have struggled so far, but there's a long season and long ways to go before things are all said and done.
Oakland-Craig has to come out on fire and must be ready to take the fight to teams all day.
The Knights have to play with pride and must come out and play with passion as well.
Oakland-Craig has to find some strength from within to get things turned around.
The Knights have to play their hearts out and must have a lot of desire and determination to compete and do well.
Oakland-Craig has to have good body language and has to give 100% effort at all times.
Everyone on the team has to be committed and dedicated to this team being successful.
The Knights have to dig deep and find some will and inner strength from within.
It has been a difficult start to the season for Oakland-Craig, but there's no doubt the Knights can get things turned around with this Tournament.
It's a new day and a new tournament, and I don't see why Oakland-Craig can't do some good things in this tournament.
The Knights have to be upbeat, positive, and loose, and must be ready to have fun and enjoy themselves.
Executing at a high level in all facets of the game will be important for Oakland-Craig as well, in my opinion.
