The West Point-Beemer Volleyball Team won 3-0 over Tekamah-Herman at the C1-6 Sub-District Tournament at Oakland-Craig Monday night before downing North Bend Central in five sets in the Sub-District Final the next night.
The Cadets won set one 25-23, set two 25-18, and set three 25-13 over Tekamah-Herman.
Kendra Paasch recorded 11 kills while Sidney Swanson totaled 10 kills and 17 digs. Brooke Haase added 8 kills while Sierra Kile managed 7 kills and 37 set assists. Andrea Hoffman and Ashton Troyer tallied 8 digs each.
North Bend Central defeated West Point-Beemer 25-22 in set one before the Cadets took set two 26-24. The Tigers won set three 25-22 before West Point-Beemer won set four 25-18 and set five 15-12.
Head Coach Conley Straight says winning the sub-district is a big deal. "It's definitely a big accomplishment, especially having to play North Bend three times and beat them three times in a season. You don't want to have to play a team three times and then especially having to beat them three times. It's definitely a big accomplishment, and winning our sub-district this year after falling short by a set and-a-half last year it's definitely something that we set out as a goal to start our season, and reaching one of those goals is definitely a big accomplishment for our team this year."
The Cadets (17-14) take on defending Class C-1 State Champion Wahoo (31-2) in the C1-2 District Final at North Bend Central Saturday evening in action that will be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Warriors topped David City and Bishop Neumann 3-0 in the C1-4 Sub-District at Shelby on Monday.
Straight says the Warriors are as good as advertised. "They're definitely a great ball team. Number two in the state right now, a 31-2 record. They're a good ball club with that. Couple of Division I recruits, a lot of Volleyball IQ on that team."
Straight says his team will go in there with a good game plan and kind of see what they can take advantage of.
The Cadets have absolutely nothing to lose as it's a winner take all, win or go home situation.
Wahoo is legit and the real deal, in my opinion, but anything can happen, and West Point-Beemer has to believe that.
I think it's a big deal for the Cadets to just be in this match.
Winning your Sub-District and getting to a Sub-State match is a huge deal.
West Point-Beemer is playing good Volleyball right now as they are 7-2 in their last 9 matches.
The Cadets certainly peaked at the right time, and have earned the right to play for a berth in the State Tournament.
West Point-Beemer has to go out there and give Wahoo everything they can ever want and then some.
The Cadets have to be jacked and fired up, and must give the Warriors their best shot.
West Point-Beemer can't be nervous or feel the pressure whatsoever.
All the pressure has to be squarely on Wahoo.
Not many expect the Cadets to win expect maybe the team, but that's all that matters.
West Point-Beemer has to believe they can and must expect to win.
Coach Straight says the team has already exceeded expectations so there's really nothing to lose on Saturday.
As Coach Straight says....one team one dream.
First serve is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. on the Bull.
