Great and thrilling win for the Knights Tuesday night!
Oakland-Craig (9-2) hosts undefeated and top-ranked Wahoo (8-0) Thursday night in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Warriors won 3-0 at home over Beatrice Tuesday night.
This is a rare and big-time opponent coming into Oakland.
Wahoo is the type of team you want to face in preparing yourselves for an end of season run.
The Warriors are the kind of team that helps prepare you for the postseason, including state, and bolsters and strengthens your team.
I look for the Knights to compete really well in this match and play great.
I also look for Helzer to have a great match individually.
If it's anything like the other night then it should be a thriller.
I think Oakland-Craig on Tuesday was perhaps looking ahead to the match with Wahoo on Thursday.
Not to take anything away from the Bulldogs, but the Knights could have easily won that match in 3 or 4 sets.
What's important though is that Oakland-Craig escaped Humphrey with a win.
And now the stage is set for the Knights Thursday night.
Oakland-Craig has to simply go out there and get it.
First serve is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on the Bull.
