War'Shaw' Boys Build Win From Clay

NAPPANEE - Ever the mathematician, the right answer Friday for Warsaw boys basketball coach Al Rhodes came from the equation Shaw + Clay2. In a Northern Lakes Conference matchup at NorthWood, Warsaw got 26 points from Greg Clay, 22 from Jared Shaw and 17 more from Chris Clay.The senior trio's efforts added up to an 84-71 Tiger win. Warsaw is now 14-1 overall and 5-0 in the NLC, while the host Panthers fall to 6-6 and 2-3. In what has become a trend the last couple weeks, the 10th-ranked Tigers used a huge fourth quarter to seperate themselves from the opposition. Friday night when Warsaw outscored NorthWood 28-17 in the final frame, that perfomance came at the charity stripe, where the Tigers were an astounding 18 of 19.For the game Warsaw was 27 of 32 at the line. The host Panthers started last night's contest in a dead sprint, hitting 8 of 10 shots in the first quarter, including 3 of 4 from the arc.

As of Thursday evening, Patrick had six videotapes and several scouting reports on 16-7 Pendleton Heights, which defeated No.1 Maconaquah in its regional, and he and his assistants were diligently pouring over the videos to scavenge as much information about the Arabians as possible.

Warsaw Baseball Team Finishes Successful Season

The Warsaw Indians, a wooden bat, amateur baseball team comprising of several local players, recently completed it most successful season to date. The Indians have been around as a team for several years and used to play in a league in Goshen.Grace College graduates Andy Manes, John Edwards and Josh Bailey then joined the team after college and played in the aforementioned league until it folded in 2003. While Manes and company competed in the league in Goshen the Indians won the championship four years in a row. The players then decided to join the Michiana Amateur Baseball Association, which is a summer destination for many college baseball players. While many notable and accomplished college baseball players compete in the league, perhaps the most notable is Notre Dame's Evan Sharpley.

Mason, Warsaw Bring Home Medals

INDIANAPOLIS - David Hoffert called Saturday's state track and field meet "better than graduation." Tim Mason went away from the event somewhat disappointed, despite an ironman exhibition in which his undefeated streak in three events, the long jump, the 100 and the 200, came to an end. Jon Hill and Gregg Seiss called the meet nothing more than a learning experience. Saturday's IHSAA state track and field meet at Indiana University Track Stadium in Indianapolis ran the gamut of emotions.For most, though, it was the final prize for a year of hard work. After last year's meet when local athletes failed to win a single medal, just one finish in the top nine would have been an improvement this year.But Mason alone took three medals, while Warsaw's 3,200 relay team took another, and Hill grabbed one more.
