NAPPANEE -ÊWhen Wawasee boy's basketball coach Phil Mishler found out his team would face Northridge on Friday night in round two of the Northern Lakes Conference/Lake City Bank Holiday Tourney, he wasn't surprised. "Northridge is a very good team," said Mishler."They are a lot like us in that they have good strong post people and good perimeter people who can shoot." While the Raiders do have some similarities to the Warriors, they didn't have enough Friday night as Wawasee picked up a 56-44 win to put the Warriors into Saturday's final game. "We played really well tonight," said Mishler."Northridge gave us all we could handle.My hat is off to Coach Austin and his team on an excellent effort." For a while the game looked as though it might be a battle of the big men as early scoring came in the paint through much of the first quarter.
