GOSHEN - The curse continues. For the fifth straight year, the Wawasee Warriors did not have what it took to win the Goshen Holiday Tournament, losing in the opening round to Goshen 64-48 Friday in the semifinals. Goshen used a big third quarter to open up a close game, and take control. The Redskins hit for 24 points in the third, while allowing the Warriors only 11. Goshen junior Jon Swartz was on fire nailing four of five shots and two free throws for 11 of his game-high 19 points in that period. The real key for the Redskins was free throw shooting. Both teams hit 20 field goals in the game, but Goshen went to the line 27 times, hitting 22 of those, while Wawasee stepped up only five times, hitting only three.There lies the difference of the game. The game seemed to start in the traditional Goshen slow down fashion.
