Jeff’s Wisner-Pilger Preview:
Tri County Northeast (1-3) hosts Wisner-Pilger (2-2) in Emerson Friday night. The Gators won 50-8 at home over Wakefield last week.
Jeff’s Take on the Contest:
This should be a good game. Wisner-Pilger is the “bigger” school so to speak so the Wolfpack have their work cut out for them. The Gators probably have more size, but Tri County Northeast might be a little more shiftier and elusive. The game could go either way in my estimation. Both teams are tough and capable of playing well so it will be interesting to see how this one turns out.
