Tigers stop Warriors 28-6

By JERI SEELY School may not have been in session last Friday but a large crowd gathered at Warrior Field to view the Wawasee-Warsaw football game. Coach Hal Trayiolia had his Warriors ready emotionally but they could not overcome a more powerful Tiger 11. The final score: 28-6. The Warriors - showed improvement over last year’s Tiger match when they failed to get two first downs back-to-back, in fact it was the fourth game of the season before the team began to put it together and two back-to-back first downs were achieved. This year first downs against the Tigers were the rule instead of the exception. Warsaw took the kick but a fumble on the second play of the game was recovered by Wawasee and Brown and company took over. Sophomore Tad Tinkey, who may prove to be a great boon for the Warriors, made the first carry for the evening. Senior Ray Gerber gained an additional three yards and it was third and five. Senior quarterback Andy Brown got the first down on a keeper. The Tigers, however, were out for Warrior scalps and on the next series of downs a bad snap put the ball over Dave Stoffel’s head and Warsaw took over on downs. They were on the six-yard line. Seconds later the Tigers were over the line for the touchdown. The conversion, a pitch out to Jim Coplen, was good and the score was 8-0. . Senior back Dave Johnson caught the kick at the nine and returned it to the 32 yard line. Gerber picked up Wawasee’s second first down of the game. A short time later Brown faked a pass, kept the ball, ran it to the 23 and got the Warrior’s third first down of the game.

March Towards Goal Wawasee continued its march towards the line. But the march was short-lived as both Tinkey and Gerber were held and Warsaw took over on the 15-yard line on downs.

A hand-off by a second man to Gerber, who ran to the right and picked up good yardage, gave the Warriors another first down. A pass to Johnson gave Wawasee its third first down in a row, something that was not accomplished until well into the season last year. The march continued. Gerber was again credited for the first down. On a big play in the next series Brown was hit for a loss and Warsaw took over. Flags on the play caused confusion in the stands as many thought the Warriors should keep possession. However, the whistle did not blow until after the play was dead. Warsaw kept the ball. Tiger possession was short lived. Rusty Morrison recovered the ball and it belonged to the Warriors. Warsaw was not to be outdone.
