Wisner-Pilger hosts Fremont Bergan (2-2) Friday night.
The Knights were shutout 27-0 at Battle Creek this past Friday night.
Fremont Bergan will most likely win this game, but I feel the game has a chance to be closer and more competitive than the last two weeks have been for the Gators.
Wisner-Pilger has been outscored 110-0 in their last two games, and simply have to be better.
The Gators competed fairly well in their first two games, but the last two weeks have been games to forget.
Wisner-Pilger hit rock bottom last week I would say, so it can only go up from here.
The Gators have to find a way to put points on the board, and gain more yards on offense.
6 yards of offense against the Trojans. I know Hartington Cedar Catholic is good, but wow.
Wisner-Pilger is very young, and brighter days are ahead I'm sure, but the Gators have to come out angry and upset against Fremont Bergan.
Wisner-Pilger has to want to play better than they have the last couple of weeks and this season as a whole for that matter.
Perhaps the Gators will put up double digits in points. That would be a positive step in the right direction for Wisner-Pilger I would say.
The Gators also have to be tougher and better on defense. Wisner-Pilger has to do a better job of being physical at the line of scrimmage and tackling.
It just has to be a better week overall for the Gators. Wisner-Pilger needs to see growth and improvement in all areas of the game for progress to be made.
The Gators have to be positive and be ready to play better than they did last week.
Wisner-Pilger has to play at a higher level than they have been. There's no other way to put it. At the end of the day youth and inexperience is an excuse.
The Gators have to come out and play smashmouth football Friday night.
