The Wisner-Pilger Football Team won their opening game of the playoffs Thursday night, defeating Nebraska City Lourdes 42-6 at home.
The Gators led 14-6 after one, and blanked the Knights 6-0 in the 2nd quarter to take a 20-6 lead into the locker room.
Wisner-Pilger shutout Lourdes 8-0 in the 3rd quarter to go up 28-6 at the end of three.
The Gators blanked the Knights 14-0 in the 4th quarter to make up the final score.
Trevor Styskal had 107 yards rushing on 15 carries, including three touchdowns. Gavin Lampman added 67 yards rushing on 12 carries.
Colby Heller made 9 tackles while Jayden Raabe, Dylan Kneifl, and Mason Dimon notched 8 apiece.
Wisner-Pilger racked up 293 yards of total offense, including 257 on the ground.
Very nice win for the Gators. Wisner-Pilger won this a lot easier than I thought they would.
The Gators (7-2) take on Creighton (9-0) in the second round of the playoffs in Creighton Wednesday night.
The Bulldogs dispatched of Southern 82-28 at home in Thursday's first round.
Creighton has been dominate all season like they are every regular season, but Wisner-Pilger is a dangerous team right now.
The Gators played great Football Thursday night, and if they play like that again Wednesday night they could very well spring the upset.
The Bulldogs usually find a way to lose to good teams this time of year, and Wisner-Pilger is a good team.
The Gators have to go up there with nothing to lose and reckless abandonment.
Wisner-Pilger should fear no one, including Creighton.
It's a big game for the Gators, and Wisner-Pilger has to go up there and give an all out effort.
Styskal needs to have a big game as does Lampman.
The Gators need to catch some breaks and make some big plays at the end.
Wisner-Pilger is very deep, and having depth in a game like this is huge.
I don't know if you will see the Gators wear out.
I feel Wisner-Pilger has enough players to stay fresh and keep everyone well rested.
The Gators have to come ready to hit hard and lay the smackdown on the Bulldogs.
Wisner-Pilger has to go in there confident, but not too confident or arrogant.
The Gators have to believe they can win, but not let it go to their heads.
Wisner-Pilger has to get fired up though and be ready to hit hard and play physical football.
I really think being a former 11-man team really helps the Gators.
It'll be interesting to see if Wisner-Pilger can put any fear in Creighton.
The Gators have nothing to lose and everything to gain, and should face no pressure at all.
All the pressure should be squarely on the Bulldogs' shoulders.
Kickoff is set for 6:00 p.m.
