Warriors fall to Chargers in season opener Saturday

By SANDY GERENCSER The Wawasee varsity basketball team lost its opening game of the season last Saturday night to the host Carroll Chargers, 52-44 The team is coached by Bob Heady. The Warriors didn’t seem fready” for their first game. There wasn’t any team unity on offense. The boys just didn’t play or think as a team. They were fairly good on the boards, but setting up an offense seemed to be a tough assignment. There were many good plays by Wawasee — some especially good steals that were converted to points. However, Carroll got a good many steals from the tribe too The Chargers broke up several in-bounds passes and stepped in on the Warriors several times as they dribbled up court These turnovers really seemed to fluster some of the players only to compound their “opening night jitters”. A slow start had been expected after football season released five players — three of which started (Dave Wollman, Chris Paulus and Mark Smith). However, this start was a little slower than coach Heady had anticipated Needless to say, he was not satisfied with his team's performance, but, to be sure, neither was the team itself. To add to the tribe’s problems, starters Tim Yoder was favoring an ankle anjury most of the evening and Christ Paulus suffered a minor head injury with 5:51 left in the first period. He later returned to action but he was rather shaken up The Warriors were tied with Carroll early in the first quarter, 4-4, after two field goals by Paulus before he was hurt. It took Wawasee a few minutes to regain forces, but in the meantime the Chargers led 10-4 By the end of the period, though. Wawasee narrowed the gap, 11-9, on a three point play and a lay-up by Smith Carroll was able to get a 10 point lead in the second stanza. 21-11. But. two consecutive steals, converted to points, by Ralph Reiff quickly sliced the margin Just seconds before the halftime buzzer. Smith netted
