Triton Splits With Culver Academies

CULVER - A week ago against Oregon-Davis, Triton was in the driver's seat in the fourth quarter but let a win slip away. Saturday night at Culver Military, the Trojans didn't let that happen again. Triton jumped out early and hung tough down the stretch, maintaining a solid lead most of the second half en route to a 63-54 win.The victory evened Triton's record to 1-1 on the young season, while CMA fell to 0-2. Triton rolled out to a 10-point advantage midway through the second quarter, and kept that margin most of the game.CMA did manage to cut the lead to 33-29 with five minutes to play in the third; Triton put an end to that spurt with an 11-2 run that boosted the margin back up to 44-31.CMA didn't pull any closer than seven the rest of the way. Triton head coach Kevin O'Rourke, in his second year at the helm of the Trojans, was pleased with his club's performance following win No.1.

IU Pulls One Out Of Its Hat

BLOOMINGTON - Fifth-best backcourt in the nation? Street & Smith College Basketball Magazine and ESPN's Dick Vitale have said the Indiana Hoosiers have this. They may, but the fifth-best backcourt in the nation did not show up for the first half Saturday against intrastate rival Indiana State. Fortunately for the capacity Assembly Hall crowd, the Indiana Hoosiers were able to pull off a miraculous second-half comeback to win 76-70. Not a single guard scored for the Hoosiers in the first half. Not preseason All-American A.J.Guyton. Not highly touted freshman Dana Fife. Not three-year player Mike Lewis, and not a single guard off the bench. Fifth-best backcourt in the nation? The Sycamore backcourt turned in a strong showing. The tone of the game was set from the first play when Fife turned the ball over, and Indiana State came back and capitalized.

Warsaw Wears Valley Down

MENTONE - Warsaw's physical nature finally took its toll on Tippecanoe Valley Wednesday. After standing toe-to-toe with the Tigers for three quarters, foul trouble handicapped the Vikings as Warsaw was able to hammer away at the inside of the Valley defense for a critical fourth-quarter run in the Tigers' 62-51 win in the season opener for both teams. After watching a double-digit lead disappear in the third quarter, the Tigers held a fragile 45-40 lead entering the fourth quarter.That is when the Tigers turned to two of their big guys to give them a jump start.Luke Reed and Chris Hill scored six points each as Warsaw opened up a 57-46 lead and never looked back.

Warrior Defense Deserving Of Respect

SYRACUSE - Aretha Franklin sang about it, while the late Rodney Dangerfield joked about not getting any. R-E-S-P-E-C-T. With Wawasee High School's varsity football team enjoying its best season in the program's history, setting a school record for victories and winning the Northern Lakes Conference and sectional championships for the first time since 1985, the Warrior defense, in a way, might feel like Dangerfield. On a team with offensive stars like Kory Lantz, Jordan Swain, Andrew Mock and Ben Chamoux, Wawasee's defense has garnered few headlines this season, yet has stood its ground time and time again. An underestimated group, coach Joe Rietveld's defensive team held conference rival Plymouth to 81 yards rushing on 33 attempts in Friday's 28-7 sectional win. Running the football is Plymouth's bread-and-butter, yet it was the Warrior defense that feasted play after play, shutting down talented Rockies running back Jared Gaul.

Tiger Spikers Sweep Three-Way Match

Tuesday night's three-way match between Warsaw, Churubusco and Northfield may have been more a battle of attrition than a battle on the court. In the first match of the evening, Warsaw took on Churubusco.The Tigers clipped the Eagles' wings in three quick games 25-4, 25-10, 25-9. The first game saw Warsaw jump out to a 12-2 lead before surrendering another point.The Tigers then outscored Churubusco 13-1. Unlike the first game, the Eagles were able to score some points by taking advantage of mental errors by Warsaw and using deception rather than power. Lacking any big hitters, the Eagles were forced to use their setter for point production.Along with some unforced errors by Warsaw, the Eagles were able to draw as close as 17-10 before the Tigers pulled away. Warsaw came out more intense in the third game, jumping out to a 9-0 lead to start the final game.Warsaw never looked back after its initial run to take the match.

Warsaw Beats NLC Foe Wawasee

SYRACUSE - Warsaw's volleyball match ended Thursday the same way the previous 47 NLC matches have ended - with a win. Warsaw's NLC win streak reached 48 straight with a 15-9, 15-10 win over Wawasee.Afterward one Warsaw Tiger admitted she was a little more nervous than the others before the match. "I was nervous, but I don't think our girls were," Warsaw coach Jamie Byron said."I knew Wawasee just beat Concord in three, this was a home match, and they had a ranked team coming in.I knew they weren't going to let us go away without a good fight." Indeed, Wawasee was the team coming in with nothing to lose and everything to gain.Warsaw was ranked No.14 in the latest poll, so the Tigers were expected to win.But Wawasee one week earlier had knocked off a 14-4 Concord team, and the Warriors entered their battle with Warsaw with a 12-7 record. Wawasee coach Jason Fleming had scouted Warsaw, and he knew what his team would have to do to have a chance to win.

Warsaw Shares NLC Title

NAPPANEE - As of Saturday morning, Warsaw's girls golf team was looking to accomplish two firsts in school history: finish undefeated and win the Northern Lakes Conference title outright. After Saturday's NLC Tournament at McCormick Creek Golf Course, Warsaw will have to settle for finishing undefeated. The Tigers entered the tournament 6-0 in the NLC, but the Tigers placed third in the seven-team match.Because the final NLC standings combine regular-season dual matches and the tournament, the third-place finish forced the Tigers to share the NLC title with Goshen. While Warsaw has never won the NLC outright, the Tigers shared first place in 1995.

'Scrappy' Tigers Too Much For Wawasee

SYRACUSE - In a battle of scrappy vs.intense, scrappy won out. The Warsaw Tigers, described by Wawasee coach Amy Miller as "scrappy," topped the Warriors in three games 25-13, 25-23, 25-16 in Northern Lakes Conference action. Wawasee came out as the more intense of the two teams and it worked to the Warriors' advantage as they hung with Warsaw early. Warsaw senior Kate Miller served two aces and before long the Tigers built a 12-6 lead that forced Miller to take a timeout. The Tigers then outscored Wawasee 7-3 out of the timeout to push their lead to 19-9. Tiger junior Alexis Albertson then closed out the first game with two straight aces to give Warsaw the win at 25-13. "We had good body line on our serves tonight," said Warsaw coach Doug West."Which means we had a good angle on our serves which allowed us to serve line drives." Warsaw's Danielle DeGeeter and Shelby Runnells each racked up 11 points for the evening.

Squires Take Route 66 In Rout

NORTH MANCHESTER - The last game of the regular season is a time when teams want to finish strong to carry momentum into the postseason. The Manchester Squires entered Friday night's football matchup against the Northfield Norsemen looking to gain another win on this last Three Rivers Conference game. They did it in a big way, blasting Northfield 66-0. With the shutout of the Norsemen, Manchester improved to 5-2 in the TRC, earning the Squires third place. Josh Peden and John Sommer each gained more yards on the ground than Northfield did in total offense. "Peden and Sommer both are good backs, good blockers and, most of all, good runners, and they have been like that all year for us," Manchester head coach Al Bailey said."They did a great job carrying the ball tonight." Manchester outplayed their opponent in virtually every aspect of the game.The Squires tallied 636 total offensive yards, while their defense held the Norsemen to 73.

Tippecanoe Valley Girls Down Wawasee

SYRACUSE - As fifth-year Viking coach Gary Teel described it, Tippecanoe Valley's girls basketball win at Wawasee Tuesday night was a total team effort. And that it was. Behind four quarters of strong defensive play and hot-handed shooting, the Vikings upended the host Warriors 65-49, putting a damper on Wawasee's senior night. Valley fueled its first-quarter drive with numerous steals in the early going, pushing the Vikings out to a 19-8 lead with 2:16 remaining in the first.The game was knotted at 4, but a field goal by Sherise Denny and then back-to-back three-pointers from Denny and Abby Shafer ignited the Viking crowd and caused Warrior coach Kem Zolman to call a full timeout just three minutes into the game.
