The Winnebago Volleyball Team is 2-6 in their last 8 matches, winning 2-0 over Emerson-Hubbard, but losing 2-0 to BRLD at their home Triangular last Thursday night, falling 2-0 to Randolph, Fremont Bergan, Boyd County, and Elkhorn Valley at the Elkhorn Valley Tournament on Saturday, and then beating Walthill 2-1, but losing 2-1 to Omaha Nation at the Walthill Triangular Tuesday night.
The Indians defeated the Pirates 25-13 in set one and 25-17 in set two.
The Wolverines topped Winnebago 25-8 in the first set, and 25-14 in the second set.
The Cardinals beat the Indians 25-12 in set one and 25-14 in set two.
The Knights took set one 25-12 and set two 25-9.
The Spartans won 25-19 in the first set, and 25-14 in the second set.
The Falcons earned a 25-16 set one win, and took set two 25-12.
The Indians won set one over the Blujays 25-19, and took set three 25-22 after dropping set two 25-22.
Natasha Deal had 10 kills while Kiana Lewis totaled 9. Kiylista Harden notched 12 blocks while Marissa Picotte registered 12 set assists.
Winnebago won set one over the Chiefs 25-23 before Omaha Nation won set two 25-18 and set three 25-23.
Lewis recorded 13 kills and 7 set assists while Harden totaled 8 kills and 8 set assists. Jean Parker-Morris and Alex Neff each added 7 kills.
I feel like the Indians' play overall has slipped some since the beginning of the season.
Winnebago (6-10) takes on Homer (4-16) and Whiting, IA (3-11) at the Whiting, IA Triangular Tuesday night.
Homer went 0-3 at the Wisner-Pilger September Classic on Saturday.
I feel both matches are very winnable for the Indians, and are matches Winnebago can definitely compete in at the very least.
The Indians have to step up their game and be tough and resilient like they were in their last two Triangulars.
Winnebago appears to have put the Elkhorn Valley Tournament behind them some given their performance Tuesday night.
I thought the Indians played decent against the Blujays and Chiefs, but weren't or still aren't totally over Saturday's performance.
The good news about these matches on Tuesday is Winnebago will have had an entire week to prepare for both of these teams.
The Indians should be fresh, well rested, and ready to go.
There's no reason why Winnebago shouldn't be competitive and successful Tuesday night.
I feel the Indians have what it takes to win both matches, they just have to string some good sets together.
Winnebago has shown the potential to play tough in some sets, but other sets the Indians really struggle.
It's about Winnebago playing at a high level at all times, or at least more than they have over the past week or so.
The Indians are having a respectable season in many ways, but there is still a lot of work to be done a lot of things to be fixed.
Winnebago has a ways to go to get where they want, but I feel the Indians can definitely get there in time.
It's a process, and the Indians just have to keep making progress and strides.
Rome wasn't built overnight, and neither was Winnebago's Volleyball program.
The Indians just have to keep progressing forward and improving at the game and honing their skills to get where they want.
