Numbers Adding Up In '98 For Warsaw BY GREG JONES, Times-Union Sports Editor Warsaw is playing a numbers game this year. In the third year of his reign, Tiger coach Phil Jensen is getting closer to his ultimate goal - a two-platoon system.Even with a school of 2,000 students, players exclusively on offense or defense have not been seen around much in these parts. Jensen would like to see that changed.And he might be getting the support he needs. With more than 100 kids in the program this year (grades 9-12), it may be only a short while before Jensen will have those two separate units.The turnout for the Tigers is up 10 percent from last year and 25 percent from Jensen's first season two years ago. "It is not just numbers," Jensen said."It is kids who have actually worked in the program, lifting weights and working out in the summer." Of the 63 varsity players, about 56 of them put time in this summer in Jensen's regimen.
