I feel like West Point-Beemer has played good Volleyball, they've just played some tough teams and came up a little short.
The Cadets (8-8) host North Bend Central (4-6) Thursday night.
The Tigers won 3-2 at home over Oakland-Craig Tuesday night.
This match figures to be close and could go either way.
I'm leaning towards a Cadet win since West Point-Beemer is at home and swept Wisner-Pilger, who the Tigers beat 3-1.
Granted North Bend Central played the Gators on the road and the Cadets had Wisner-Pilger at home, but still I give West Point-Beemer the edge with them being at home.
That and the Cadets are more experienced and seasoned.
It won't be easy though as the Tigers are well coached and have a good group of girls who are talented.
You know North Bend Central will come to play so West Point-Beemer has to be ready.
The Cadets have to be prepared for a long grind mentally and physically.
The Tigers went toe to toe and prevailed against the Knights in 5 Tuesday night so North Bend Central definitely knows what it's like to go the distance.
It should be a great, compelling, and entertaining match.
Hopefully the West Point-Beemer fans really get behind their Cadets cause I'm sure the players could really use the fan support.
West Point-Beemer has a golden opportunity to beat the Tigers, something they haven't done since 2008.
It's been 10 years since the Cadets have beaten North Bend Central so you know the Tigers won't go down easily and without a fight.
West Point-Beemer has to take their frustrations of losing close matches to good teams out on North Bend Central.
I wouldn't say the Cadets have struggled lately, I would just say they have come up a little short against all these tough teams on their schedule.
We will find out if West Point-Beemer can change that trend Thursday night.
