Wisner-Pilger Boys beat Madison in regular season finale, fall to Clarkson/Leigh in Sub-Districts; Girls lose to Howells-Dodge in Sub-Districts

 













The Wisner-Pilger Boys defeated Madison 57-35 at home last Friday night in the regular season finale before falling 52-37 to Clarkson/Leigh in the C2-3 Sub-District Semifinals at Oakland-Craig Tuesday night.


The Gators led the Dragons 14-8 after one, and doubled up Madison 14-7 in the 2nd quarter to take a 28-15 lead into the locker room.


Wisner-Pilger won the 3rd quarter 10-9 to go up 38-24 at the end of three.


The Gators outscored the Dragons 19-11 in the 4th quarter.




The Patriots led 11-9 after one, and outscored the Gators 14-7 in the 2nd quarter to take a 26-16 lead into the locker room.


Clarkson/Leigh won the 3rd quarter 14-11 to go up 40-27 at the end of three.


The Patriots won the 4th quarter 12-10.


Wisner-Pilger ends the year at 9-14.


The Gators say goodbye to Rockney Peck, Regan Bellar, Klay Koehlmoos, and Tyler Kimble.


These four were incredible contributors for Wisner-Pilger this season and throughout their careers no doubt.


Key returners include Beau Ruskamp, Hunter Palmer, Jackson Knust, Spencer Batenhorst, Kyle Rehak, and Owen Heller.


The Gators had a coaching transition this past year with Chet Beckmann taking over for Duane Mendlik, the all-time winningest Basketball Coach in Nebraska High School Basketball History.


The Gators did some nice things this year, but there is definitely room for improvement.


Wisner-Pilger has to have a good summer and really get after it with the weights, conditioning, and on the court work.


















The Wisner-Pilger Girls fell 59-48 to Howells-Dodge in the C2-3 Sub-District Semifinals from GACC last Tuesday night.


Both the Jaguars and Gators scored 13 points in the 1st quarter. Howells-Dodge outscored Wisner-Pilger 26-14 in the 2nd quarter to take a 39-27 lead into the locker room.


The Jaguars won the 3rd quarter 12-7 to extend their lead to 51-34 at the end of three.


The Gators won the 4th quarter 14-8.


Kennedie Ott and Emma Heller each had 9 points for the Gators, while Lindsey Kneifl scored 8.


Valiant effort from Wisner-Pilger.


The Gators end the season at 8-14.


I thought Wisner-Pilger improved from last year to this year and did a lot of nice things this season.


The Gators say goodbye to Macy Stuhr and Tymarie Ott.


Wisner-Pilger has a lot coming back, including Kennedie Ott, Adi Meyer, Kneifl, Cameryn Bellar, Heller, and Maggie Schweers.


The Gators will definitely miss their two departing seniors, but have to be excited about next year given who they all have returning.


Wisner-Pilger has to work extremely hard this offseason and improve in all aspects of the game.


The Gators have to pour out blood, sweat, and tears over the summer and be ready to take aim at things next season.
