A career milestone was reached for longtime Wisner-Pilger volleyball coach Jean Groth last Thursday when the Gators hosted Fort Calhoun and Logan View/Scribner-Snyder in a triangular.
The Gators opened the triangular with a 25-8, 25-21 victory over Fort Calhoun. This marked the 800th career win for Groth, who is in her 40th season in charge of the program.
Jordan Wegner had 11 kills while Emily Hatterman recorded 15 set assists.
Wisner-Pilger ended the night with a 25-20, 25-18 win over Logan View/Scribner-Snyder, notching career win 801 for Groth.
Wegner posted 13 kills while Aspin Waterman notched 8. Hatterman added 20 set assists.
The Gators downed Oakland-Craig 3-0 on the road to close out the regular season Tuesday night, winning 25-19 in set one, 25-15 in set two, and 25-21 in set three.
Wegner had 15 kills and 8 digs while Rachel Otten totaled 10 kills. Waterman added 8 kills and 9 digs. Reagan Scholting posted 9 digs while Hatterman registered 30 set assists.
Wisner-Pilger continues their mastery and great late season play.
The Gators (21-10) are the No. 1 seed in the C2-5 Sub-District Tournament at Pender with play starting on Monday.
Wisner-Pilger will play the winner of Omaha Nation and BRLD at 7:30 p.m.
I think this Sub-District is the Gators' to lose.
I feel Wisner-Pilger won't have any trouble against Oakland-Craig, BRLD, or Omaha Nation, but GACC could be a challenge.
The Bluejays beat the Gators in the regular season, and if there's a team that can spoil the party for Wisner-Pilger, I feel it is GACC.
This is the Gators' chance to make a Sub-State match and have a chance to play for the State Tournament.
Everything Wisner-Pilger has ever worked for comes down to Monday and Tuesday.
The Gators have a golden opportunity and chance in front of them, and can't let it pass.
Wisner-Pilger has to seize the moment and time.
It is the Gators' time, and Wisner-Pilger has to go out there and have a great postseason.
The Gators still might be able to make a Sub-State match even if they don't win the Sub-District, but Wisner-Pilger can't rely on that.
Wegner has to step up and have a big postseason for the Gators.
She, Otten, and Waterman need to play well offensively as does Hatterman.
Wisner-Pilger is 10-2 in their last 12 matches, and has to continue to play like they have in those matches next week.
The Gators haven't done a whole lot wrong lately, and need to keep it up.
I think Wisner-Pilger has the best chance they've had in a while to win their Sub-District.
The Gators have to capture the moment and take everything they've ever wanted.
Dreams lie in front of Wisner-Pilger now it's a matter of going out there and making those dreams come true.
