Warriors rekindle timeless rivalry, scalp Warsaw 48-21
By ESTI KEEN The Wawasee Warriors rekindled a timeless Northern Lakes Conference rivalry as their *76 football season opened officially in a 80 degree stifling heat against Warsaw Friday night. The half time festivities saw a 14-14 stalemate on the board but the Warriors, realizing the Tigers were not out to produce another 0-15 seasonal record, re-examined the situation and in a spectacular second half performance went out to chalk up their third consecutive football victory against the Tigers — this one ending in a 48-21 verdict The stadium rocked with wild bursts of enthusiasm as the more-than-abundant fans were entertained by some real football excitement. Wawasee's Keith Cripe can be credited with supplying a great deal of the Wawasee fan's applause and the Tiger dismay, after hurling the pigskin 30 times, of which he completed 20, for an incredible 333 yards and five touchdowns. Also Cripe ran for one touchdown and threw no interceptions in paving the way for the Warrior victory. Cripe lost no time getting started as he hurled a 57-yard bullet to Joel Popenfoose down the left sideline for the first six points with 4:24 remaining in the first quarter It was then the Tigers turned the tables in an unrecognizable offensive performance and took the kick-off and plowed 61 yards in 10 plays to score their first points against Wawase< in three years A 13-yard trek up the center by fullback Chuck Simpson and a couple of Reneker passes —a 17 yarder to Jay Steger and an.ll yarder to Rick Junnuck — set the scene for Steve Bradford's oneyard plunge to score two seconds into the second period The Tiger skirmish reached 146 as Jack Ward jumped on a Cripe fumble on the Tiger 48 and the Warriors helped the six play campaign with a 15-yard personal foul penalty That’s when the Warriors summed up the tedious situation and set about making the Tiger confidence very short-lived A determined 11-yard play. 42-

yard drive made the score 14-12 when Cripe saw split-end Steve Cromer in the end zone from 10 yards out. The duo supplied a two-point conversion within moments Half time score: 14-14. At this point, the Tigers had just received a preview of what they were m store for. The third quarter credited Wawasee' with another 21 points and a medley of fiery passes and windstepping runs climaxed by a 13-point aerial show in the final stanza Senior Rick Bauman picked up 138 yards on 10 carries and scoring two touchdowns began the come-back taking a flawless pass from Cripe on the option play then sprinting 65 yards to secure the Warrior lead. Bauman ran a duplicate play on the other side for 31 yards to Warsaw's home three after Ken McMillan and John Beer headed the forces to stop a Tiger drive at the Wawasee 38. Cripe completed the effort with a race through the Tiger line for paydirt. Warsaw then bulldozed down to the Warrior 22 only to hand over the pigskin as Reneker and Mayer had a misunderstanding on a hand off and Bill Rensberger was there for Wawasee to harvest the mix-up. Bauman came into the spot light again four plays later on a
66-yarder from Cripe. Popenfoose passed to Stan Kroh for two extra points which, ended in the third quarter at 34-14. An eight-yard scoring play on a Reneker to Mayer pass brought the final round of Warsaw’s points. Cripe then rocketed Mark Frances with an eight-yarder and then Popenfoose with a 26yarder Warsaw coach Hutcherson contests. “. . . their passing was their strongest. So it seems only natural they would go that way. Not too many people are gonna stop Cripe anyway.” The Warriors will travel to Goshen Friday.
