The Winnebago Volleyball Team opened up the season with a 3-1 home win over Emerson-Hubbard Tuesday night.
The Indians won set one 25-15 before the Pirates claimed set two 26-24. Winnebago won set three 25-22, and set four 25-18.
Solid start to the season for the Indians. Anytime you start the season with a win you are doing something right.
Winnebago (1-0) takes part in the Fort Calhoun Invitational on Saturday.
Other teams in the tournament include the host Pioneers, Logan View/Scribner-Snyder, and David City.
I'm not sure who the Indians play first, but regardless of who Winnebago plays both days, they need to play at a high level.
The Indians did well Tuesday night I thought, and need to continue to play that way to be successful.
Winnebago struggled in this tournament last year, and needs to find a way to do better in it this year.
Not having a match on Thursday and having some good quality practice time should really help one would think.
The Indians can go back and watch film from Tuesday and see what they did wrong and correct it.
It's all about continual growth and improvement if you are Winnebago, and that's what the Indians need to see and get on Saturday.
Winnebago has to go into Fort Calhoun ready to compete and win.
The Indians can't go in there just thinking they will or hoping to do well.
Winnebago has to expect to win and be successful.
The Indians have to play their game and execute on both sides of the net.
Winnebago has to eliminate or at least minimize unforced errors, and not beat themselves.
The Indians have to make both opponents this weekend earn their points.
Winnebago also has to be tough both physically and mentally.
The Indians have to be solid on both sides of the net, and must get after loose balls....the 50/50 and hustle plays if you may.
Winnebago has to make those plays, and overcome any talent disadvantage they may be facing.
Playing with heart can make up for any talent disadvantage a team or player might be facing.
So the Indians have to play with tremendous heart, and take the fight to both teams on Saturday.
Ideally, Winnebago comes away with an Invitational Championship on Saturday. After all, championships are what you play for.
