Post #11 Nebraska Kearney vs. Washburn

      The Ichabods made the long journey to face off with Nebraska Kearney for a Thursday, Friday, and Saturday series. Overall, we walked away 1-4 which was highly unexpected against this team. As told by the coaching staff, the main goal was to walk away with the wins to kick Nebraska Kearney out of the MIAA tournament completely, yet we did not succeed in doing so. As I said in my last post, not enough energy or focus was there. But there is something else I have learned through the players and coaches over this season as well as last season that is a great necessity to winning. A key to success is a positive attitude. As cheesy as it may sound if you tend to be negative, others will sense it which will lead the team in a bad direction. Positive leadership is so important at every game. If your captains fail to do their job, the team has no direction. We have had several cases of that this season. Overall, our captains have done a good job from what I can see, yet the cases that leadership has not been there, it could never be any more evident than when we are losing a game.
      We are now in 8th place in the MIAA conference and continue to get better every day. When push comes to shove I think this team will show the rest of the conference what they are really made of. All I can say now is, go Bods!!!
