New Tigers Earn Stripes As Warsaw Grounds Columbia City
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
COLUMBIA CITY - Though the names have changed and many of the players were inexperienced at the varsity level, it was still the same result Friday for Phil Jensen and his Warsaw football team.
Despite graduating 22 seniors, including all-state rusher Brad Seiss, the Tigers opened the 2002 season with a 21-7 win at Columbia City Friday. The win was the fifth straight over the Eagles and Warsaw's 18th consecutive regular season triumph overall.
"We have youth, lots of youth," said Jensen, who picked up his 70th career coaching win. "And not just sophomores, kids that don't have varsity experience. This is not to disrespect Columbia City, but we made some mistakes that were our fault. We had some turnovers, missed some simple reads and dropped some balls, that's youth, but I was pleased that the kids didn't give up. They worked together."
Minus the highly explosive offense Warsaw was known for a year ago, it took the Tigers just three plays from scrimmage to find the end zone, as senior signal caller Ryan DeGeeter connected with junior Nate Miller for a 24-yard touchdown pass at the 10:59 mark.
DeGeeter, regarded as one of the state's top quarterbacks, finished the evening with a 7-of-18 passing performance for 98 yards, though he did throw a pair of interceptions.
Miller led the Tigers in receiving with three catches for 70 yards.
Having had to wait his turn behind Seiss, Grady Randall and David Muta the past few seasons, senior rusher Ben Kreinbrink got his chance to shine Friday against Columbia City. Making his first career varsity start, the 6-foot, 185-pound Kreinbrink made the most of it, as he rushed for 127 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 24 attempts.
Kreinbrink scored his first touchdown with 11:54 remaining in the first half, an 11-yard scoring scamper that helped put the Tigers up 14-7. He found paydirt again with 2:09 left in the first half, this time from five yards out, as Jeremy Sharp's kick put Warsaw up 21-7.
"The kids' hard effort was the best part tonight," Jensen said. "We're gonna keep doing that and we're gonna keep getting better."
The biggest chunk of Kreinbrink's yards came late in the game when Columbia City appeared worn out, as he picked up gains of seven yards or more on five of his last eight attempts.
"Columbia City got tired, as did we," Jensen said. "That was one of the things we talked about, are we in good enough shape yet? We also need to be more focused mentally. The average person doesn't know how smart you have to be to play at the level we're trying to play at."
Just as Warsaw's offense showed promising signs, so did its defense, the phase of the game Jensen said before the season that would be strong.
Returning after earning junor all-state honors, 6-2, 280-pound defensive line anchor William Knepper appeared to be camped out in the Columbia City backfield, and then later blocked and Eagle punt.
Warsaw's defense tackled Columbia City runners in the backfield nearly a dozen times, with Eagle quarterback Chad Eckert finishing the evening with negative 25 yards on eight attempts. Tyler Anglin led the hosts with 78 yards on 14 carries, but had just 17 yards at the half.
Veteran Tigers secondary player Mike Thallemer picked off two errant Eckert passes, and nearly had a third on the game's final play.
Though he finished with 113 yards through the air, Eckert did so on a 5-of-22 performance with a pair of interceptions.
Warsaw, which now owns a 37-18 all-time record over Columbia City, will host No. 8 Homestead Friday. The Tigers' last regular season loss came in overtime to the Spartans two years ago.

Wawasee Tops Whitko In Season Opener
By Dan Riordan, Times-Union Sports Correspondent
SYRACUSE -ÊIt's been about 364 days since the squads for Wawasee and Whitko squared off on the gridiron.
A 1-point double-overtime loss to the Wildcats left a sour taste in Wawasee's mouth. It also sent the Warriors down a long road which left them with a 4-6 record at the end of it.
Wawasee avenged that loss in a big way Friday night. The dynamic sophomore duo of quarterback Kory Lantz and halfback Jordan Swain carried the Warriors to a 28-12 victory.
The first quarter saw both teams threaten early but neither squad was able to capitalize.
Whitko's second possession of the game saw the Wildcats drive down to Wawasee's 22-yard line before their offense stalled.
On Wawasee's second possession, the Warriors put together a nine-play drive that carried them into the second quarter. Like their counterparts, the offense stalled at the Wildcats 20-yard line.
Wawasee was finally able to break the defensive stalemate on its next possession. The Warriors put together a 10-play 40-yard drive that culminated when Lantz rumbled into the endzone from three yards out. A two-point conversion gave Wawasee the early 8-0 lead.
After Whitko went three-and-out, the Warriors wasted no time in adding to their lead. Wawasee ran a no-huddle offense that both frustrated and wore down the Wildcats over the course of the first half.
Whitko played between seven and eight players on both sides of the ball.
Wawasee held the ball for basically the final six minutes of the half and wore down the Wildcat defense.
Lantz capped things off by connecting with senior wideout James Stucky from 13 yards out.
The combination of a humid evening and it being the first game of the season showed.
While Whitko was able to somewhat keep Wawasee's offensive attack in check for the first quarter, little by little the Warriors began to dominate.
"It does hurt," said Whitko coach Bryan Sprunger. "It was hot out here and it's impossible to simulate game play until you get out here. I'm confident though we can get things rolling and improve."
After the halftime break both Whitko's offense and defense looked rejuvenated to start the second half.
The Wildcats put together a 10-play drive highlighted by Brandon Waterson.
The junior halfback carried the ball three times for 44 yards, setting up an Alan Robbins 5-yard score.
After a failed two-point conversion attempt, the Wildcats trailed 21-6.
Whitko struck again when Waterson broke through a hole in the Wawasee defense and sprinted in from 27 yards out.
Another missed two-point conversion, however, proved costly as it left the Wildcats down two possessions instead of one at 21-12.
That point however would quickly become moot.
Whitko attempted an onside kick that rolled out of bounds giving Wawasee the ball at its own 48.
Five plays later Lantz once again hooked up with Stucky, this time from 39 yards out.
Wawasee head coach Joe Rietveld was quite pleased with his team's performance.
"We came out and did some things with our offense that people weren't expecting," said Rietveld. "I was happy with how our kids played tonight."
He's also aware that winning the season opener, especially one that avenges a tough loss from last year, can be a big momentum builder.
"I think that this first victory helps a lot," said Rietveld. "It will hopefully give the kids confidence going into the rest of the season."
Wawasee hopes to extend its winning ways as it travel to Fairfield Friday. Whitko hopes to get its ship righted when it hosts Columbia City.
