Oakland-Craig is a very talented team, and will be tough for the Gators to deal with no doubt.

This is a tough stretch of matches for Wisner-Pilger with North Bend Central coming up next week as well.

The Gators have to build on the positive things they did against the Cadets on Tuesday, and apply that to Thursday's match.

Wisner-Pilger has to go out there and play tough and be competitive come Thursday night.

The Gators have to want it more than the Knights, and must go out there and play a great match.

Wisner-Pilger has to try and contain Bailey Helzer as much as possible.

If the Gators can do that then they should give themselves a chance to be successful.

Wisner-Pilger is facing an uphill battle in this one, but the Gators have to go into Oakland expecting to win and compete.
