Warriors stopped by Zebras

The Warriors from Wawasee went down to defeat, 50-48, last Friday night at the hands of the Rochester Zebras. Wawasee got the tip but couldn’t take advantage of it and it was Rochester that got the first basket of the game. Both teams seemed cold as neither hit the basket again for several seconds. Rochester finally scored, taking the score to 4-0. „ With 5:35 remaining in the quarter Mark Lantz, a Wawasee junior, scored the first two points for the local team. Then the teams seemed evenly matched as they began to trade baskets. The quarter ended with the Zebras on top 12-8. Rochester scored the first basket in the second quarter.
