The Wisner-Pilger Gators came up short Friday night, falling 20-16 at home to Logan View.

Cooper Vonseggern scored from 11 yards out for Wisner-Pilger's final score of the game.

Rabe rushed the ball 19 times for 127 yards and a touchdown. Vonseggern added 53 yards on 15 carries, and scored once. He was 7-15 passing for 52 yards.

The Gators racked up 260 yards of total offense, 208 coming on the ground.

The defense surrendered 226 yards of total offense, including 146 through the air.

It was a pretty evenly matched game. Wisner-Pilger just didn't catch the breaks they needed to, and had some things go against them.

The Gators (1-3) host Stanton (3-1) Friday night.

The Mustangs shutout Tekamah-Herman 60-0 Friday night.

This is going to be a very difficult game for Wisner-Pilger, but this is a rivalry and anything can happen.

The Gators have been very competitive for the most part this season, and I look for Wisner-Pilger to give Stanton their best shot Friday night.

Rabe has to have another big game running the ball, and Vonseggern has to play well for the Gators as well.

Wisner-Pilger has to limit turnovers and catch some breaks if they want to win Friday night.

The Gators have to get amped, fired, and jacked up for this game. Wisner-Pilger has to forget about the Logan View game, and turn their attention to the Mustangs.

It's the start of district play, and anything can happen. If Wisner-Pilger wins out they are in the playoffs.

It's almost like the start of a whole new season for the Gators.

Wisner-Pilger has a clean slate and a fresh start almost, and it's time for the Gators to shine and win some games.

This is a pivotal game in the C2-4 District race, and could go a long ways in determining a playoff spot.

Wisner-Pilger has to do a lot to make the playoffs, but anything can happen. The Gators have to keep grinding, and play hard until the end Friday night.

We will see what Wisner-Pilger can do come Friday night.
