The Gators (2-1) travel to Oakland to battle Oakland-Craig (4-2) Thursday night in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Knights won 70-64 at Winnebago Tuesday night, and have now won four in a row.
This should be a heck of a game on Thursday.
Both teams are playing Good Basketball right now.
Wisner-Pilger has had an extra day to prepare for Oakland-Craig, but the Knights may be in a little bit better game shape having played more games lately.
You always have to wonder if COVID-19 plays a role in any kids having to be quarantined and that sort of thing as well.
The coronavirus pandemic has cancelled a couple of games for the Pender Boys so hopefully that doesn't happen to either of these teams.
Both teams have to be vigilant in their approach to this game and pandemic, and be ready to go, but in a safe and concise manner.

Wisner-Pilger (1-2) travels to Oakland to battle Oakland-Craig (2-3) on the road Thursday night in action that will be aired on 107.9 the Bull.
The Knights won 56-50 at Winnebago Tuesday night.
Oakland-Craig has struggled a bit lately, and things have the potential to be interesting on Thursday I think.
The Knights are still very good and talented though so the Gators definitely have their work cut out for them.
At the same time Wisner-Pilger played a really nice game on Friday against Tekamah-Herman, and should be proud of themselves for that game and effort.
Now it's something for the Gators to build off of heading into Thursday.
Wisner-Pilger got that first win monkey off their backs so now the Gators can just go out there and play loose and pressure free if they weren't already.
That first win is always tough, and now that Wisner-Pilger has tasted victory I figure they'll be ready to take aim at another win Thursday night given all the momentum and energy they figure to have and play with.
I think Thursday's game has a chance to be closer and more competitive than some might think, but we will see for sure.
Tip-off is set for 6:00 p.m. on the Bull.
