KOKOMO - The color of the bleachers in Kokomo's Memorial Gym, Warsaw's varsity boys basketball team left the Wildkat players blue as well Tuesday night. After trailing the host Wilkats by nine at halftime - a half that could be described as black and blue - the Tigers used an effective inside game with frontliners Ryan DeGeeter, Erik Fussle and Adam Griggs and got two free throws from guard Michael Moore with 15 seconds remaining to pick up a thrilling 60-59 win. "What a gutty win," Warsaw coach Doug Ogle said."This is a big step forward.It was very physical in the first half, and we set a goal going into the fourth to cut the lead to five.We got it to four, that was key." After Wildkat Donald Huntsman - who was 1 of 10 seniors honored before the game - put Kokomo up six to start the fourth, the 6-foot-4 Fussle countered for Warsaw with a three-point play.
