Lady Cougars Down Pender, Improve Record to 15-15

By Clare Wiltse, Sports Contributor

The Lady Cougars got an EHC win over Pender last week.  It was a big win because it raised their record to 15-15.  After starting out with a 2-9 record the Cougars have come on strong with thirteen wins their last nineteen matches.

Going into their final regular season match Tekamah-Herman Coach Hathaway stated,  “It is a good feeling going into a game against T-H with a .500 record. We are looking to advance that to a winning record as we head into subs.”

Hathaway commented about the sub-districts that,  ” (14-15)  Bergan is whom we will most likely be playing against 1st round. They are going to be a solid team with a heavy outside hitter. We are probably pretty evenly matched so it will be a good game either way.”

The sub-district matches will be held next week at Oakland-Craig.  Cedar Bluffs, Fremont Bergan, Omaha Christian Academy, Omaha Nation, and LDNE are schools that will be competing.

Northeast defeated the Pendragons in three sets.  Outside hitters Brianne Haskell and Kelly Wakeley had a big night with 12 and 10 kills respectively.  The team tallied 30 kills while hitting 0.195
