PLYMOUTH -ÊWhitko junior Alan Robbins had something to prove against Tippecanoe Valley in the Plymouth Sectional. After the underdog Wildcats defeated the No.10 Vikings by two points earlier in the season, the Whitko squad wanted to prove that it wasn't a fluke. Wednesday night in Plymouth, the Wildcats, led by Robbins, did just that by topping the Valley team 48-45 to advance to the sectional semifinal against Knox Friday night. "I wasn't the one who did it, the kids did," said Whitko coach Don Zawlocki."They wanted this, and they played hard." Former Wildcat Alex Frantz scord the first basket of the game at the 7:37 mark, but Whitko's Drew Spangle and Brad Walpole hit back-to-back three-pointers to make the score 6-2 in Whitko's favor. Then Andrew Kramer hit a basket and Trey Eaton and Frantz netted back-to-back three-pointers to give Valley an 11-6 lead with 3:46 left in the first quarter.
