Warsaw Girls Ground Eagles

He said it wasn't anything personal, it wasn't about him, but first-year Warsaw girls basketball coach John Snyder had plenty to smile about Tueday evening. Off to to the worst start in the program's history, a 2-4 record that Snyder insists isn't indicative of the improvement the team is making, the Tigers rebounded from Saturday's loss to Plymouth with a 52-41 win over visiting Columbia City. Snyder, a longtime Warsaw boys assistant coach, has also been the junior varsity boys coach at Columbia City and has lived there for more than a decade. Just how much it meant he wouldn't really say, but Tuesday's 11-point win meant something to him, as well as a team trying to find its identity with a new head coach and get things rolling.

Whitko Faces Harding In Re-Match

With one second left, Shamane Jamison hauled in a Corey Moore pass for a touchdown.The score shocked Whitko as it broke a 15-15 tie and gave Harding the 23-15 win. That happened last year in the sectional championship game. Whitko and Harding meet again this year on Friday, but this is just for the right to play in the sectional championship, which would take place Nov.8. Whitko and Harding enter the game with identical 7-2 records.If the Wildcats win this game, they would play for their first sectional title since 1986. Whitko looked impressive in a 43-6 first-round win over Blackford, rolling up 511 yards of offense.The Whitko starters rested most of the second half.

Tigers Find Running Game, Enter Tournament With Momentum

When drawn on a chalkboard, seventh-year Warsaw football coach Phil Jensen says his plays always work. Friday night against visiting Northern Lakes Conference foe Concord they worked on the field, as the Tigers found their running game and downed the Minutemen 28-23 in the regular season finale. A team that has survived much of the year via senior Ryan DeGeeter's passing arm, the host Tigers, whom Jensen described earlier in the week as an offense searching for identity, rushed the ball 48 times for 211 yards.Warsaw entered Friday night averaging just over 130 rushing yards per contest.

Henson, Whitko More Comfortable

SOUTH WHITLEY - When Whitko named Dave Henson as the basketball coach last year, the season began any way but normal. Practices had already begun before Henson arrived.Coach had to learn about the players on the fly.The players had to adapt to a new coach on the run. All the Wildcats managed to do was go 17-6 and win the sectional. Imagine what coach and players can do now that this season is actually a normal season. "I came in here a year ago today," Henson said on Nov.11."I feel like we're ahead of the game." Henson is in place.His players are in place.Now Henson's game plan is also in place, moreso than last year.
