Jeff’s Tekamah-Herman Preview:
Pender (5-17) hosts Tekamah-Herman (10-14) Tuesday night. The Tigers went 1-2 at Saturday’s Raymond Central Invite, winning 2-0 over Hastings, but losing 2-1 to Fairbury and 2-0 to Omaha Westview. The Pendragons fell 2-0 to the Tigers at the Northeast Nebraska Jean Groth Classic on September 7th.
Jeff’s Take on the Match:
This should be a good match. Pender played tough on Thursday and Saturday despite the losses. The Pendragons have shown the ability to play tough this season. That has been against really good teams too so Pender has to find a way to bring that same energy and effort into this match as well. The Pendragons have to get fired up and must be prepared and ready to defend their home court. Pender has to refuse to lose.
