Wawasee Spikers Rally Past Triton

SYRACUSE - When Wawasee fell behind Triton 12-4 in the first game Monday, the Warrior spikers had two choices - pack it in or turn it up.Wawasee chose the latter of the two. And although the Trojans eventually won game one, 15-13, the emotion and enthusiasm that the Warriors created by making it close turned the momentum around and helped Wawasee win the next two games, 15-10, 15-12. "There were times that I thought they would just run on us.I was afraid if we went ahead and lost at that score (only 4 points), that emotionally the team wouldn't be able to rebound," Wawasee coach Jason Fleming said."We started putting things together at the end of that first game which even though we lost it showed that the momentum had changed tides." Really, it wasn't any magic formula or a change in the game plan for the Warriors; they just began to execute better, while the Trojans struggled with the rejuvenated play of Wawasee.
