Hanson Arrives Just In Time For Warsaw

FORT WAYNE - Kanye West raps in "Diamonds are Forever (From Sierra Leone)" that "when he came in the game, he made his own name." While West was talking about himself, the same could be said for Warsaw's Justin Hanson. Hanson made his name with an 84-yard punt return for a touchdown with 2:44 left in regulation to lift Warsaw past host Homestead 17-14 Friday night. "I caught it, saw an opening and just ran as hard as I could," said Hanson. The speedy junior's path to the end zone was relatively clear thanks to the textbook blocking of the other 10 Tigers on the field highlighted by a ferocious hit from senior Matt Boots that got rid of Homestead's last would-be tackler. "One guy got my foot at one point but that's it," said Hanson of his game-winning jaunt to paydirt.

Warren Named Fire Chief

"It's a little boy's dream," new Warsaw Fire Chief Matt Warren said today. Warren, 44, has been with the fire department since 1984.Before assuming his newly appointed position, Warren was assistant to Warsaw Fire Chief Ken Shepherd. Shepherd was demoted to driver with a little over a year left in his career before retiring. "We don't want it to be ugly by any means," Warren said."The mayor said we got into some situations....We just felt that it was time for a change. "The mayor felt that he could communicate with me a little better," Warren said."Hopefully we can serve the city just as well as we have been, maybe a little bit better." Mayor Ernie Wiggins said he believed the "time was right to put Matt up into that position." Wiggins said he talked with Shepherd and they both decided it was "appropriate to make the switch at this time." "It's just a change," Warren said.
