Jeff’s Pender Triangular Preview:
Pender (4-13) hosts Tri County Northeast (9-5) and Neligh-Oakdale (4-11) in a Triangular Thursday night. The Wolfpack lost 3-1 at Wynot Tuesday night while the Warriors lost 2-0 to Bloomfield and 2-1 to Plainview at their home Triangular Tuesday night.
Jeff’s Take on the Matches:
Pender could really use a couple of wins on Thursday. The Pendragons have struggled as of late and are trying to get back on track. I think Pender can beat Neligh-Oakdale at the very least. That’s not to say that the Pendragons can’t beat Tri County Northeast too, but the Wolfpack are having a pretty good season and will be difficult to knock off and contend with. I think the biggest things for Pender are relax and have fun. It can be a good night of Volleyball for the Pendragons if they play well, and they are certainly capable of doing that.
