By Dale [email protected]
Hosting the 44th annual high school girls basketball event, Warsaw scored the first eight points of the game, led 18-3 after the first quarter and beat the Chesterton Trojans 54-17.
The Lady Tigers, now 11-4 on the season with their third straight win and fourth in five games, led 31-6 at halftime and 43-13 heading into the final frame.
Warsaw advanced to the championship of the four-team tournament for the 34th time.
Chesterton fell to 7-6 on the season.
Abby Sanner, who led the Lady Tigers with a game-high 15 points, scored nine points in the opening stanza as the hosts took control.
By comparison, Chesterton had just eight points as a team until a bucket with 1:22 remaining in the third quarter gave the Trojans double digits on the scoreboard.
Freshman Brooke Winchester contributed nine points in the win, while senior Bailie Stephens added eight and freshmen Leila Knepp chipped in with six points.
Senior Elizabeth Pokorney paced Chesterton with 10 points.
The 37-point win was the 75th victory with the Lady Tigers for coach Lenny Krebs, who is now 75-36 in his fifth season in Warsaw.
Warsaw senior Kacilyn Krebs, who scored 24 points in the Lady Tigers’ 66-39 win over 4A No. 10 Lake Central last week, suffered an injury in the semifinal game, something her father/coach called a whiplash kind of injury after hitting the floor. Coach Krebs said in a postgame interview she had a 50/50 chance of playing in tonight’s title game.
