Tigers head for the sectional with confidence

Warsaw Coach Al Rhodes points out the Tiger team started off with many inexperienced players this season, but feels the team's positive attitude will give the Tigers the self-confidence needed for the sectional. He pointed out the Tigers have played in many close games and had a “lot of hard luck along the way." The Warsaw Tigers had a 3-13 win-loss record as of February 18. However. Rhodes stressed. “We've been able to cut down on our turnover which has been a big problem for us and we hope that will help us as we go to the sectional. " “We’ve been a good rebounding team throughout the season,” the head coach stated, “but ball handling has betn a ma jor problem "
