The Wisner-Pilger Volleyball Team saw their season come to an end on Saturday as the Gators lost 3-0 to Thayer Central in the C2-4 District Final at Shelby-Rising City.
Wisner-Pilger lost set one 25-22, set two 25-14, and set three 25-16.
Jordan Wegner had 13 kills and 8 digs while Reagan Scholting 10 digs. Emily Hatterman notched 17 set assists.
Great season by the Gators that almost resulted in a trip to Lincoln.
Wisner-Pilger's season ends at 23-11.
Big wins this year came over West Point-Beemer (twice), Pierce, Norfolk Catholic, Wynot, Logan View/Scribner-Snyder (twice), and Twin River.
The Gators caught fire at the end of the season and should be very proud of their efforts.
Wegner had 381 kills to lead the team this year while Rachel Otten had 87 blocks. Scholting led the way in digs with 303 while Hatterman registered 642 set assists.
Wisner-Pilger parts ways with Wegner, Hatterman, and Cassidy Gooch.
These three will definitely be missed. Their contributions to Gator Volleyball won't be easy to replace either.
Key returners for next year include Otten, Adi Meyer, Scholting, Aspin Waterman, Karrin Jindra, and Erin McGuire.
Wisner-Pilger should be solid once again next year, and I look for Otten and Waterman to step up and be the go to offensive players for the Gators next season.
I look for both of them to step in and fill the void left by Wegner.
Wegner is a huge loss as is Hatterman there's no doubt about it.
Wisner-Pilger just seems to retool and reload every year though, and I suspect that will be the case again next year.
There's no reason to think that the Gators won't be good again next year with the potential of reaching another sub-state match.
This was Wisner-Pilger's chance to make state, and they came up a little short, but I think another run next year is in order.
Make no mistake about it though....Wegner is a huge loss given her height and skill.
She and Hatterman will be very tough to replace, but I feel Otten, Waterman, and McGuire will do a nice job next season.
It was a great year with a lot of memories. Head Coach Jean Groth picked up her 800th win and the team made Sub-State.
Now all there's left to accomplish next year is making the State Tournament and winning a Conference Championship.
