Wisner-Pilger played well against Pender, in my opinion, but didn't play as well against Twin River and North Bend Central.
The Gators (6-12) take on Twin River (14-5) in a consolation game of the tournament in Genoa Thursday night.
The Titans were upset 44-38 by Tekamah-Herman in the first round of the tournament Friday night.
Twin River is prone to getting upset, and Wisner-Pilger ought to think they've got a chance to knock off the Titans this time around.
The Gators shouldn't really feel much pressure with this being a consolation game. The same could be said for Twin River, especially since the Titans are at home.
Twin River has had a nice season, but Wisner-Pilger has competed well against some of the good teams on their schedule.
The Gators have lost four in a row and seven out of their last eight though so something has to change for Wisner-Pilger if they are to get over the hump and win.
The Gators' offense needs to be better, in my opinion.
Wisner-Pilger is playing good enough defense to win games, it's just their offense that is letting them down, in my opinion.
The Gators only have three more games before sub-districts, and have to do their best to play well and get back on track before the postseason.
Wisner-Pilger should use these days of practice to shoot and hone their offensive skills.
The Gators need to have a good week of practice, playing at a high level and improving.
Wisner-Pilger has to work hard in practice and allow that hard work to carry over to the game.
The Gators have to give 100% effort and go hard. Wisner-Pilger has to be excited and get after things in the days leading up to Thursday's game.
