Wawasee & Zionsville Robotics Have A ‘Clash Of The Green’SYRACUSE – Wawasee hosted a double division event Saturday with 39 teams competing in the high school division and 27 teams competing in the middle school division, on opposite sides of Wawasee’s spectator gymnasium.
The final match was an epic “clash of the green” between first-seed Zionsville and second-seed Wawasee, both school colors being green. Wawasee teams 574C Centurion (rank 3, 6-1-0) and 574D Immortal (rank 12, 5-2-0) fell to Zionsville teams 7701X Xenith and 7701T Tesseract, 44 to 36.
“Most of the top ranked teams from Indiana came to Wawasee to experience high-level competition before we face off against each other at state in two weeks,” Wawasee head coach Jed Wandland said. “As much as we wanted to win, we wanted to go up against Xenith and Tesseract who have already qualified for world championships.”
All Wawasee teams advanced into the elimination rounds in the final regular season tournaments on Saturday on Wawasee’s home turf.
Teams 574A (rank 24, 3-4-0), 574B (rank 29, 2-5-0) and 574G (rank 31, 2-5-0) made it into the round of 16. Team 574F (rank 4, 6-1-0) made it through the quarterfinals and into the semifinal rounds before losing to the 574C and D alliance.
Team 574H Samurai charged ahead in the middle school division, ranking sixth for the day with a 5-2-0 record. They made it into the quarterfinal rounds before losing 14-18.
