Wisner-Pilger (4-2) hosts North Bend Central (8-0) Tuesday night.

The Tigers swept Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family 3-0 on the road Thursday night.

North Bend Central appears to be a team to be reckoned with once again this year so the Gators have to do what they can to challenge and compete with the Tigers again.

This is Wisner-Pilger's only match of the week so the Gators can focus solely on North Bend Central.

The Tigers are in action this weekend so Wisner-Pilger has to take advantage of the extra preparation time.

It's never easy to beat a team more than once in a season, and so the Gators have to be super pumped and motivated for this match.

Wisner-Pilger gets North Bend Central at home so the Gators have to be ready to roll from the start.

The Gators did a good job competing with the Tigers the first time the two teams met, especially in the first set, Wisner-Pilger just has to finish North Bend Central when they have the chance.

The Tigers are mighty tough, but the Gators are a really good team too.

Wisner-Pilger has to be ready to go blow for blow with North Bend Central.

The Gators have to take things one point and one set at a time.

Wisner-Pilger has to learn from mistakes and not dwell on them.

The ability to let things go and have a short memory will play a big factor in Tuesday night's match, in my opinion.

The team that makes the fewest mistakes and eliminates errors will most likely win the match.
