Wisner-Pilger’s repeat run to the title game of the East Husker Conference Softball Invite was cut a game short by the Twin River Titans.
In a semifinal contest played Saturday in West Point, the Titans stormed to a 12-0 win over the locals in just three innings of play.
The winners jumped on W-P for four runs in the opening inning and eight more in the second. Meanwhile, the locals managed just three hits in three innings, but did twice have runners as far as third base.
The loss sent the locals into a rematch of last year’s title game, played Saturday in the consolation contest. The results the same as Tekamah-Herman upended W-P 4-2.
The Gators held a 2-1 lead after scoring twice in the fourth inning on a run batted in double by Kayli Wheaton and a sac fly by Samantha Liermann.
The lead was gone after five innings as T-H mounted a two-run fifth, then added an insurance tally in the sixth.
W-P’s lone win in the tourney came in the opening round, but in no easy manner as West Point-Beemer pushed extra innings before falling 6-5 to the locals.
W-P netted two runs in the top of the eighth inning after two outs. Eve Ortmeier provided a big blow, driving home the initial run of the inning with a double. Kari Liermann followed with a triple to plate Ortmeier.
WP-B managed to score once in the last of the inning, but the Gators worked their way out of the inning without further damage to secure the win.
Wheaton led the way with three hits, followed by Lexi Knust and Suzanne Ras with two each.
In regular season play on Thursday, the locals mustered only a bunt single by Knust as Wayne rolled to a 12-0 iwn in four innings of play.
The 1-3 week left the locals with a 10-14 season record. W-P winds down the regular season in the upcoming week, heading into district play which begins Thursday, Oct. 10.

I have found some more helpful hints. Please feel free to post your helpful hints. There are many of them and I am sure everyone has their own hints. Many household items are useful!
SUPER GLUE REMOVER
Use acetone nail polish remover on a cotton ball and let it saturate the super glue to remove it.
REVIVE OLD MARKER PENS
Acetone nail polish remover will revive an old marker pen when it gets dried up. Just dip the tip part in the acetone. Recap. Can use it again to write, draw, or color with in a couple hours.
MAKE YOUR OWN ADHESIVES
Mix 3 pkgs. unflavored gelatin with 1 Tbsp. cold water and 3 Tbsp. boiling water. Stir until dissolved. Add 1/2 tsp. peppermint oil. Store it in a small covered tub. It will congeal so to use it, microwave for 10 seconds on high.

During homecoming week, the LDNE students and staff participated in a cancer walk. Some of the pictures were posted at the time. Kat Country Hub has obtained the information regarding the cancer walk.
“It is a walk we have done the last couple of years to honor survivors and those we have lost to the disease,” stated Pat Sharp, a teacher at Lyons-Decatur Northeast. “We talk about healthy lifestyles to make a difference and walk, skip and hop in the gym for 30 minutes to great music.”
The student council handed out granola bars and fruit snacks to everyone preschool through seniors that attended.
