Emerson-Hubbard (1-17) hosts Wakefield-Allen (8-11) Tuesday night.
The Trojans lost 3-1 at home to Ponca this past Tuesday night.
Wakefield-Allen has started to play better Volleyball as of late as they've won 5 out of their last 7.
The Pirates desperately need to pick things up, especially offensively.
Emerson-Hubbard played so well in the season opener, but has slipped ever since.
The Pirates have to remain positive and upbeat though, and must keep on fighting.
Emerson-Hubbard has been solid and stout defensively, so I think digging is something the Pirates can take pride in.
Emerson-Hubbard just has to hit the ball efficiently Tuesday night, and pass, block, serve, and serve receive at a high level as well.
The Pirates need to start playing better than they have been, and hold themselves more accountable.
Emerson-Hubbard is kind of young and low on numbers, but has to be better than they have been.
The Pirates have to pick up their play and raise the intensity level up a few notches.
This is a tough match seeing as Wakefield-Allen is C-1 and Emerson-Hubbard D-2, but the Pirates must play the hand they are dealt.
I feel this match will be a good test and challenge for Emerson-Hubbard if anything.
The rest of the schedule appears to be pretty challenging for the Pirates as well so there aren't going to be many if any breaks in the schedule the rest of the way.
Emerson-Hubbard has to be better throughout the rest of the season than they have been for much of it so far.
The Pirates need to start off by making sets closer than they have been lately, and could really benefit from just taking a set.
Emerson-Hubbard has been swept in every match except two in the first two nights of the season, and that has to change.
The Pirates have a lot of work to do, and need to chip away against the Trojans so to speak.
