Warriors In War Dance Around Concord, 53-55

By Ric Clingaman The Wawasee Warriors enjoyed a war dance around the Concord Minutemen at Concord Friday night and got their scalps — the first win for the Warriors — 55-53. Beth teams played without the services of a starter. Concord’s Jerry Brown, who broke his arm in last week’s game against Warsaw. Wawasee played without the help of senior Ben Fowler. Concord scored the opening point of the game on a free throw by Jay Shipley. Then a bucket by the Warriors’ Steve Zurcher gave Wawasee a brief 2-1 advantage and signaled the start of a frantic, close race for the next several minutes. Concord enjoyed the lead for most of the first four minutes of action, but at 3:12 Wawasee surged ahead. Teamwork and a sticky defense paid off and as the quarter ended the Warriors had rolled to a 14-9 advantage. At half time the Warriors enjoyed their largest “midway” lead of the season at 34-20. Concord, down but not out, opened the scoring in the second half by dropping in seven points to Wawasee’s one as the Warriors suffered their first scoring problem of the evening. While the Minutemen collected points Wawasee picked up fouls and by 4:43 of the third quarter the Warrior 14 point half time margin had dwindled to seven at 37-30. Firestone connected at 1:02 into the game to give the Warriors a 51-49 lead. Zurcher added two more points in a one-and-one situation at the foul line. Baskets by Concord’s Bechtel and Kipker again brought the Minutemen within range, but a tip-in by Dave Elliot provided Wawasee with the two- point difference they enjoyed as the clock ran out. Gary Firestone led the Warriors in scoring with 18 points and Steve Zurcher added 16 for the mighty Warriors, as Bill Pipp connected on 22 rebounds on defense. The Warriors will be looking for their second straight win against Warsaw at Warsaw Friday night at 6:30. It will be Wawasee’s game and season tickets will be acceptable.

Wawasee-Warsaw Game To Be At Warsaw Friday The site of the Wawasee-War-saw basketball game has been switched from the Syracuse gym to the Warsaw gym says athletic director Eldon Ummel of Wawasee.

Output Holstein - Friesian Association of America has reported a production milestone for a registered Holstein cow from this area. The career producer has been credited with more than IOC,OOO pounds of milk output under official testing supervision. The owner, Harold Wilson, Milford, has been notified that Ulika Prince Skyliner Diane has produced 113,170 pounds of milk and 3,880 pounds of butterfat in 2,198 days since becoming two years of age. Because of current replacement heifer rearing and purchase costs, cows that stay in the herd longer and achieve high lifetime production levels have proven to be more profitable. The Holstein association has nearly 29,700 cows on file that have attained the 50-ton production milestone. Production levels of this magnitude can be attributed to scientific advances in feeding and management practices coupled with the genetic improvement and longevity of registered Holsteins.
