The Wisner-Pilger Gators are 5-2 over their last seven matches as they defeated Wakefield 2-0 and Lutheran High Northeast 2-1 at the Lutheran High Northeast Tourney on Thursday before losing 2-1 to Guardian Angels Central Catholic at the same tourney.

Wisner-Pilger defeated Wynot and Neligh-Oakdale 2-0 at the Wisner-Pilger October Classic on Saturday, but lost 2-0 to St. Paul, also on Saturday.

The Gators have played pretty solid volleyball as of late.

Wisner-Pilger (18-5) takes on Scribner-Snyder (2-18) at the East Husker Conference Tournament in Wisner on Thursday.

The Trojans lost 2-0 to West Point-Beemer and Stanton at the Stanton Triangular on Tuesday.

Scribner-Snyder has really struggled this year. It definitely hasn't been the type of season the Trojans were hoping for.

The Gators should win rather handily as long as they come ready to play.

The thing Wisner-Pilger can't afford to do though is be complacent.

The Gators have to keep their foot on the gas pedal, and keep chugging along.

There's still plenty for this Wisner-Pilger team to accomplish this season. The Gators aren't done with their quest yet.

I look for Wisner-Pilger to do well in this tournament. I think the Gators have a good shot at reaching the finals against perhaps Stanton or Oakland-Craig.

Wisner-Pilger has to continue to take things one match at a time, but as long as they do that they should be fine.
