The only thing standing in the way of the Warsaw Lady Tigers and an appearance in the state championship was their biggest challenge yet: Hamilton Southeastern, the undefeated No. 1 team in the state. Like every other challenge the ladies have faced this season, they were more than up for the task.

Two wins away from an appearance in the state finals, the Warsaw girls basketball team began its quest to get both of them at Frankfort Saturday with a meeting with McCutcheon. The Lady Tigers came to play, opening up a 19-0 lead in the first quarter and never looking back from there. Warsaw will play in a Final Four game on Saturday night after winning 66-48.

Across the state of Indiana, only 32 girls basketball teams spent this week practicing. Eight in each of the four classes. By the time Sunday morning rolls around, that number will drop to just eight teams total. One of those few lucky teams are the Warsaw Lady Tigers, and they’re not taking that extra time together for granted. They’re not surprised they have it, either.
