The Gators led the Tigers 12-2 after one. Wisner-Pilger outscored Tekamah-Herman 25-2 in the second quarter to take a 37-4 lead into the locker room.
The Tigers doubled up the Gators 16-8 in the third quarter to go up 53-12 at the end of three.
Tekamah-Herman won the fourth quarter 11-3.

The Raiders quadrupled up the Tigers 20-5 in the third quarter to go up 52-17 at the end of three.
Omaha Brownell-Talbot won the fourth quarter 12-8.
Tekamah-Herman just continues to struggle. There's not a lot to say about the Tigers' performance other than that it has been a tough season for Tekamah-Herman.
The Tigers (0-5) look to get back on track Friday night when take on Logan View/Scribner-Snyder (3-2) on the road.
The Raiders lost 62-53 at home to Wahoo on Saturday.
Logan View/Scribner-Snyder is a good team, and Tekamah-Herman has to try and slow down Ben Moxness and Jacob Polk.
Those two have really led the Raiders in scoring in a big way this season, and are the main and key go to players for Logan View/Scribner-Snyder.
Tekamah-Herman has to keep their head up and continue to fight. It has been a tough season no doubt, but the Tigers can't quit and give up.
Tekamah-Herman has to continue to work hard, and give it their all every time they take to the floor.
The Tigers have to try and stay out of foul trouble Friday night, and keep their best players on the floor as much as possible.
Tekamah-Herman has to handle ball pressure, and look to drive the ball to the basket, and kick it out for open shots.
The Tigers have to control pace of the game, and try their best to not let things get out of hand.
Tekamah-Herman hasn't had the easiest time this season by any means, but the Tigers have to continue to find the strength and will within to compete.
Tekamah-Herman has to make the most of these games and compete the best they can.
You only get four years of high school basketball, and it goes by so quickly...so the players have to cherish, value, and treat every game as if it is their last.
I'm not expecting the Tigers to beat the Raiders Friday night, but I think Tekamah-Herman can be more competitive than they have been all season.
If the Tigers can get some shots to fall early, and get some stops on the defensive end, they could make this one somewhat respectable, in my opinion.
I would say winning is asking quite a bit from these players, but it's why you play the game, so these boys have to play to win and not play not to lose.
Friday night's game can be heard on 107.9 the Bull after the girls game, which is set to start at 6:00 p.m.
The Tekamah-Herman Girls lost 45-40 at Wisner-Pilger Friday night, 48-30 at Twin River on Saturday, and 51-42 at Yutan Tuesday night.
The Gators held a 13-8 lead at the end of one and won the second quarter 9-8 to go up 22-16 at halftime.
The Tigers outscored Wisner-Pilger 9-8 in the third quarter to make it a 30-25 game at the end of three.
Both teams scored 15 points in the fourth quarter.
Tekamah-Herman led the Titans 12-10 after one. Twin River won the second quarter 11-6 to go in front 21-18 at halftime.
The Titans outscored the Tigers 13-7 in the third quarter to lead 34-25 at the end of three.

Tekamah-Herman won the third quarter 11-9 to make it a 39-25 game at the end of three.
The Tigers notched 17 points in the fourth quarter compared to 12 for the Chieftains.
I think Tekamah-Herman started to figure it out a little bit in the second half against Yutan. The Tigers put together a good 16 minutes of basketball in the second half against the Chieftains, in my opinion.
Tekamah-Herman (1-5) takes on Logan View/Scribner-Snyder (1-4) on the road Friday night.
The Raiders beat Cedar Bluffs 30-26 at home Tuesday night.
Logan View/Scribner-Snyder has had a difficult season although Kaylee Boyle and Morgan Morgan have done some nice things for them.
The Tigers have to limit other players besides Boyle and Morgan, and they should be fine.
The Raiders really struggle to score, and Boyle was their primary offensive threat last week.
Tekamah-Herman struggles to score too so this game is no gimme for the Tigers by any means.
I think Tekamah-Herman's defense will be too strong for Logan View/Scribner-Snyder in the end though.
I just think the Tigers will do enough offensively and defensively to pick themselves up a victory.
I don't know if this game will be like the DC West game, but it could be similar.
I think the Raiders can definitely keep things closer with Tekamah-Herman than the Falcons did though.
The Tigers need this game in a big way.
Tekamah-Herman has Arlington on Saturday so these next two games are pretty much must wins for the Tigers.
Tekamah-Herman desperately needs a couple of wins before the Holiday Break. It has been a rough start to the season for the Tigers, who have played some good teams.
I would say Tekamah-Herman needs this game more than Logan View/Scribner-Snyder.
The Tigers haven't had the easiest go of things so far this season, but a couple of wins before the Holiday Break could make a big difference in the rest of Tekamah-Herman's season, in my opinion.
Wins are never just handed to you...they are earned, and so the Tigers need to go out there and earn a win Friday night.
The game can be heard on 107.9 the Bull starting at 6:00 p.m.
