Bell Trying To Add Stability At Whitko

SOUTH WHITLEY - Just as the school structure itself is under construction, the Whitko High School girls basketball program also is in another renovation stage. The Wildcats, who finished last season with a 5-16 record overall, a 2-5 mark in the Three Rivers Conference and a one-point loss to Peru in the first round of the sectional, open the 2006-2007 campaign tonight when they host Central Noble. Whitko enters the season with a new head coach in Rob Bell, the Wildcats' third head coach in six years. Bell, who spent the past four years as an assistant at Columbia City for Hall of Fame coach Wayne Krieger, was hired in June to take over for Ryan Cunningham, who resigned after years at the helm of the Whitko program. In Cunningham's four-year tenure, the Wildcats won a total of 17 games and were 6-22 in the TRC.
