Wisner-Pilger goes 1-2 in final three matches of season

 

The Wisner-Pilger Volleyball Team lost 2-1 to Fort Calhoun, but beat Logan View/Scribner-Snyder 2-0 at the Fort Calhoun Triangular last Thursday night before falling 3-0 to GACC in the C2-3 Sub-District Semifinals at Howells-Dodge Monday night in action aired on 107.9 the Bull.

The Gators beat the Raiders 25-15 in set one and 25-22 in set two.

Lindsey Kneifl had 8 kills while Emily Buhrman totaled 7. Reagan Scholting added 10 digs while Cameryn Bellar notched 7 digs and 21 assists.

The Pioneers won set one 25-21 and set three 25-18 after Wisner-Pilger won set two 27-25.

Kneifl, Scholting, and Lily Otten each registered 10 kills while Alexia Martin had 18 digs. Kneifl added 13 digs while Buhrman had 11. Bellar posted 10 digs and 36 assists while Scholting recorded 8 digs.

The Bluejays won set one 25-13, set two 25-12, and set three 25-22.

Bellar totaled 14 digs and 21 assists while Kennedie Ott had 14 digs. Scholting and Buhrman had 13 and 11, respectively while Martin chipped in 7.

Not a bad season for the Gators, just kind of back and forth and up and down throughout.

Wisner-Pilger ends the year at 17-15.

The season was no doubt different for the Gators with the pandemic and passing of Legendary Head Coach Jean Groth.

I think the wins over Pender, BRLD, and Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family are wins Wisner-Pilger can build on and carry with them moving forward.

Bellar had 420 digs on the season for the Gators while Adi Meyer had 374.

Both players return next year, and I look for more big and great contributions for them in 2021.

Wisner-Pilger says goodbye to Scholting and Tymarie Ott.

Key returners for next year include Bellar, Martin, Meyer, Kneifl, Buhrman, Otten, and Kennedie Ott.

The Gators were relatively young this year, and I look for Wisner-Pilger to get back to 20+ wins next year.

Hopefully things are back to normal by the start of next season.

Hopefully this pandemic dies out and goes away and we can all get back to normal lives.

I'm sure the Gators and everyone else would like that.

In the meantime, Wisner-Pilger has to get after it as much as possible with their Winter, Spring, and Offseason Activities.
