The Wisner-Pilger Gators lost 54-12 at Oakland-Craig Friday night in the team's final game of the season.
The Knights went up 20-0 at the end of one and outscored Wisner-Pilger 20-6 in the second quarter to lead 40-6 at halftime.
Neither team scored in the third quarter. Oakland-Craig won the fourth quarter 14-6.
Cooper Vonseggern had 165 yards rushing on 23 carries. Vonseggern was 4-22 passing for 65 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions.
Kenny Baker had 15 tackles to lead all players. Cobe Porter made 13 while Vonseggern and Lucas Troyer notched 11 apiece. Jayden Raabe had 9 while Jake Denton and Nathan Hatterman totaled 8 each.
The Gators had 246 yards of total offense, including 181 on the ground.
The defense gave up 498 yards of offense, 308 of them rushing.
It wasn't an ideal finish to the season for Wisner-Pilger, but the Knights are a really good team, and proved it Friday night.
The Gators end the year at 3-6.
Wisner-Pilger was up and down this season.
The Gators played well at times, but not so well at others.
Wisner-Pilger says goodbye to Mason Rabe, Hubert Kuntzsch, Troyer, Baker, and Adrian Cardenas.
Five seniors isn't a lot to lose, but each and every one of these seniors brought something different to the table.
Vonseggern returns as does Hunter Waterman, Korrell Koehlmoos, Porter, Gage Riecken, Hatterman, Brody Mattson, Denton, Travis Keyes, and others.
These nine players and others have a chance to have special seasons next year.
As a matter of fact, I think the Gators have a chance to have a breakout season in 2016 and make the playoffs.
I thought Wisner-Pilger would do better this year than they did, and the potential to be better was certainly there, so I know this team is capable of doing big things.
The Gators must have a good offseason in the weight room and on the playing field.
It's important for the returning players and newcomers to get bigger, faster, stronger, and more physical, in addition to becoming better football players as a whole.
