The Tekamah-Herman Tigers saw their season come to an end Friday night as they lost 72-26 at Wisner-Pilger.
The Gators led 22-0 at the end of one and outscored the Tigers 26-8 in the second quarter to take a 48-8 lead into the locker room.
Wisner-Pilger won the third quarter 18-12 to go up 66-20 after three.
Both teams scored 6 points in the fourth quarter.
The Tigers gave up 777 yards of total offense, a school record for the Gators, and unofficially a state record for 11-man. Tekamah-Herman also surrendered 531 yards of total offense.
It was another difficult season for the Tigers that started out with so much promise, but didn't end the way Tekamah-Herman would have liked.
That season opening win over Omaha Brownell-Talbot seems like a distant memory at this point, at least to me.
The Tigers wrap up the 2016 campaign with a 1-8 record.
Tekamah-Herman had a tough time competing in all of their losses this year.
This year was still better than last year though so that has to be encouraging for the Tigers.
Tekamah-Herman graduates Cody Hopkins, Dustin Pickell, Drew Schmidt, Dillan Beaumont, Luke Green, Ben Metzler, Trenton Elliot, Colton Morrow-Merrill, Mitchell Moniff, Cory Leonard, Sarah Stang, and Brayden Drummond.
The Tigers certainly lose some valuable members of this year's team, including Hopkins, but it will be time for others to step up once next season rolls around.
Tekamah-Herman brings back Jayden Kellogg, Luke Wakehouse, Matt Hawkins, Clay Beaumont, Max Hansen, Sage Penny, Luke Rogers, Cody Arnold, Gage Drummond, and Mack Braniff, among others.
So a lot of talent returns for the Tigers, but Tekamah-Herman needs to have a good offseason.
It's important for the Tigers to perform well in the weightroom and on the field during camps and things of that sort.
These players have to spend the proper amount of time honing their skills and game if they want to have a better season next year.
Tekamah-Herman has to enhance every aspect of their games in the offseason, and come back strong in 2017.
Next year will be a new year, and I look for the Tigers to be even better next year than they were this year.
Tekamah-Herman really needs to get after things in the offseason though. The way the Tigers ended this year definitely has to leave a sour taste in their mouths.
I look for Tekamah-Herman to use this year's struggles as motivation in the offseason and turn them into success next season and beyond.
