Wisner-Pilger appears to have saved their best for last. The Gators are playing great Volleyball at the moment.
Wisner-Pilger (16-11) takes on Scribner-Snyder (9-16) and Logan View (3-22) at the Logan View Triangular on Thursday.
The Raiders went 1-3 at the East Husker Conference Tournament, losing 2-0 to Howells-Dodge, Oakland-Craig, and BRLD, but beating Madison 2-0.
The Trojans, on the other hand, beat Fremont Bergan 2-1, but lost 2-0 to Tekamah-Herman at the Tekamah-Herman Triangular on Tuesday.
Scribner-Snyder is a solid team, and Logan View seems to be coming around a little bit perhaps, and I look for both teams to give the Gators everything they've got.
I think Wisner-Pilger has a very good opportunity in front of them in that I think they can win both matches, but the Gators have to come to play, and can't take either opponent lightly.
Oligmueller, Batenhorst, and Wegner have really come on lately for Wisner-Pilger.
I've been very impressed with their ability to lead this team both from an offensive and defensive standpoint.
The Gators are certainly clicking on all cylinders right now, and I don't know if there are many teams out there that want to play Wisner-Pilger right now.
It's a good thing the Gators are playing the way they are at the moment because Wisner-Pilger is in a difficult sub district with the likes of Stanton and Howells-Dodge.
The Gators have already shown they can compete against the Mustangs though, and given the three-match losing streak the Jaguars are on right now, Wisner-Pilger has to think they can compete with Howells-Dodge too.
I look for the Gators to keep getting better and be there in the end come postseason time.
Wisner-Pilger has a very favorable schedule the rest of the regular season so the Gators should be able to win the rest of their remaining regular season matches.
I like the way Wisner-Pilger has come together as a team and is playing right now. The Gators appear to be a force to be reckoned with from here on out, and should garner the attention of their remaining opponents whether it's in the regular season or postseason.
