Warsaw game Friday —

Jamboree shows improved Wawasee Warrior team

By JERI SEELY Hopes ■ for a Warrior victory this coming Friday night against Warsaw look brighter since the Jamboree last Friday. Wawasee and Plymouth teamed up to finish play with a 27-20 victory over host North Wood and Northridge. Wawasee, in the second year of a rebuilding program, finished the 1977 season with a 0-7 conference record and was 2-8 for the season, scoring only 55 points in the 10 games. Things looked dim for the 1978 season with only 11 lettermen returning. However, Friday night at the North Wood Jamboree fans could notice marked improvements in the young Warriors as coach Hal Travioha is fielding a more polished team —a team that will be one to watch in the coming seasdn. The team showed good running ability and the blockers did-a good job. In some instances the Warriors did better than the other three teams participating in the jamboree. First Score Os Season The Warriors did not score during the first period of play. Wawasee took over on downs during the final stanza and senior back Ray Gerber went in on the second down from 25 yards out to give the Warriors their first six points of the new season. Dan Andrews' extra point kick was blocked. In spite of the fact Wawasee only scored once, the Warriors ended up with a most impressive record. They had the most first downs in the game, eight; the most yards rushing, 115; the most offensive plays, 34; and the Warriors had the least yardage lose, 25 on three penalties. First Quarter Wawasee’s green and white took the field in the first quarter of play against host North Wood and received the kick. Junior
