The Wisner-Pilger Football Team lost 56-32 at home to Creighton in the first round of the playoffs Thursday night.
Difficult loss for the Gators, who end their year at 7-2.
Tough way to go out, especially after starting the season 7-0.
The Bulldogs know what it's like to win in the playoffs though, and I look for Creighton to make a run.
Wisner-Pilger says goodbye to a very talented senior class that includes the likes of Cole Jacobsen, Trevor Styskal, Colby Heller, Dylan Kneifl, Justin Pieper, Gavin Lampman, Mason Dimon, Dylan Uhing, and Tijs Heuvelmans.
These kids will be sorely missed without a doubt given how much they meant to Gator Football.
Key returners include Klay Koehlmoos, Regan Bellar, Cole Hawk, Bo Ruskamp, Marqus Eddy, and Landon Beaver.
Lots of talent returning for Wisner-Pilger.
It will be interesting to see if the Gators stay in 8-man or move back up to 11-man.
Either way Wisner-Pilger has to feel good about how the last two years of gone and where this program is heading.
That should inspire and motivate the returning players and newcomers to lift often and work hard in the offseason.
The Gators definitely have what it takes to continue their success, but they have to keep putting the work in.
Wisner-Pilger has to use the playoff loss to Creighton as motivation to get back and do even better next season.
The Gators lose a lot of talent that won't be easy to replace though.
But all that simply means is new players will have to emerge and step up.
Wisner-Pilger needs a new crop of players to contribute and help carry and shoulder the load next year.
The Gators need to find and develop some leaders and key contributors in the offseason as they get ready for next year.
