The Wisner-Pilger Volleyball Team went 1-1 in Sub-Districts, topping Battle Creek 3-2 in the C2-4 Sub-District at Norfolk Catholic Monday night before losing 3-0 to Stanton in the Sub-District Final Tuesday night.
The Gators took set one from the Braves 25-23 before losing set two 25-17, and set three 28-26. Wisner-Pilger earned a 25-22 set four win before winning set five 16-14.
Maci Batenhorst had 24 kills and 12 digs while Jordan Wegner registered 20 kills and 9 digs. Ariel Meyer posted 16 digs and 15 set assists while Karrin Jindra recorded 14 digs. Lauren Jacobsen dished out 38 set assists.
The Mustangs earned a 25-14 1st set win, won the 2nd set 25-23, and claimed the 3rd set 25-13.
Wegner notched 11 kills while Jindra had 12 digs. Meyer, Batenhorst, and Jacobsen contributed 8 digs apiece while Jacobsen compiled 17 set assists.
The Gators just missed out on getting a Sub-State berth. It's too bad cause Wisner-Pilger definitely could of came out on top in a one match take all scenario.
The Gators end the season at 24-9.
It was a successful season for Wisner-Pilger I would say. The Gators had big wins over Wayne, West Point-Beemer, BRLD, Lutheran High Northeast, Howells-Dodge, St. Paul, Wynot, Tekamah-Herman, Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family, and Battle Creek.
That's a laundry list of wins over quality ball clubs, and Wisner-Pilger has an awful lot to be proud of.
Wegner led the team in kills on the season with 350. She also led the way in blocks with 66 while Batenhorst registered 252 digs to lead the team in that category. Jacobsen was the team leader in set assists with 540 while Meyer had 210.
The Gators lose Ashton Meyer, Batenhorst, Jacobsen, Ariel Meyer, and Cassidy Dixon.
That's a lot of talent lost and these seniors will be sorely missed without a doubt, but the good news is Wegner returns.
Other returners include Jindra, Aspin Waterman, Emily Hatterman, Rachel Otten, Ashley Brahmer, and Erin McGuire.
Wisner-Pilger should have a good strong core and nucleus back next year, and should go on to have another fine season.
Lots of talent was lost off of this year's team, but the Gators seem to reload and put a quality product on the floor every year.
I look for Wisner-Pilger to have another big year next year with their team leader Wegner having another big season.
She is a great player, and I look for her to have an outstanding senior campaign next season.
Wegner is definitely a player to build your program around, and is a huge asset to this Gators' team.
She and the rest of the players need to have a good, strong offseason, and need to work together as much as possible.
The players have to look at every weightlifting session, open gym, team camp, summer camp, summer league match, and club match as an opportunity to grow and get better.
Each and every one of these players has to have a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn.
