The Winnebago Volleyball Team went 0-2 at the Fort Calhoun Invitational on Saturday, losing 2-0 to Logan View/Scribner-Snyder and David City.
The Indians lost set one to the Raiders 25-12, and set two 25-15.
The Scouts topped Winnebago 25-19 in the first set, and 25-11 in the second set.
Slow start to the season for the Indians, but that's to be expected with a new coach.
Winnebago (0-2) hosts Walthill (0-0) Thursday night.
This is the season opener for the Blujays.
The Indians beat Walthill in all 3 meetings last year, and I feel Winnebago has a chance to continue their winning ways against the Blujays.
It's hard knowing how exactly the match will go, but I think the Indians have an advantage already playing a match.
Winnebago also has the homecourt advantage, and so I'm looking for the Indians to put together a strong, solid performance and pick up the win.
Winnebago has Ponca and the Winnebago Tournament next week so Winnebago would no doubt like to pick up a win before playing those matches.
The Indians have a lot of home matches in September so Winnebago has to make the most and take advantage of them.
Winnebago has get fired up and must come out and hit the ball with authority.
Proper placement is going to be important too, but the Indians have to put some oomph on their swings and beat Walthill's block.
Good passes and serving will also be critical in my mind.
Playing smart and communicating if balls are in or out will be key as well, in my opinion.
Winnebago has to be focused mentally and physically, and must be ready to go from the start.
Everyone has to be effective with their play whether they're in the back or front row.
The bench players have to do their part as well and cheer the team on from the sidelines.
Team togetherness and camaraderie is going to be big in this match for the Indians, in my opinion.
Walthill is a rival, and winning this match would be a big deal for Winnebago.
I'm sure the Indians really want this one.
1-2 is much better than 0-3.
I would say this is a must win for Winnebago. They can't afford to lose this one and then to Ponca before their own tournament next Saturday.
