It's going to be a classic — Pressure on the line in Bremen clash

By GARY LEWIS It’s going to be a classic showdown. Two upcoming teams in the NLC will be going head-to-head at Wawasee this Friday night, and the pressure is going to be on the Warriors. Even after destroying their last two opponents by a combined score of 73-0 while winning their last three games, all eyes will be on the Wawasee Warriors to see if this 1982 edition of the Warriors is for real. This is by far the biggest game since the stunning upset of then second-ranked Goshen. It's going to be a classic showdown. Two upcoming teams in the NLC will be going head-to-head at Wawasee this Friday night, and the pressure is going to be on the Warriors. Wawasee has been in the limelight with its 3-1 overall mark and 2-1 conference slate and has inched its way to ninth in the UPI poll of high school AA coaches. But the Bremen Lions turned more than just a few heads last week when they stunned the Goshen Redskins 20-14. Bremen is a Class A school, and moved into the 11th spot in the UPI poll after the win. Coach Don Bunge used a wifereceiver turned quarterback to upset the Redskins, and capitalized on seven costly Goshen miscues to win the rainsoaked contest. If the Warriors beat the Lions, the real heroes in the contest won’t be the Reiffs, the Dahlstroms, or the Penas. They will be the linemen, who’s efforts are usually forgotten with all of the touchdown gallops and touchdown throws. If the Warriors beat the Lions, the real heroes in the contest won't be the Reiffs, the Dahlstroms, or the Penas. They will be the linemen, who's efforts are usually forgotten with all of the touchdown gallops and touchdown throws. The most important battle in this contest will be in the trenches, which has been an area the Warriors have owned in the last three wins. Joel Bales. Mike Patty. Jeff Morgan, Jay Glon and Kevin Harney opened up hugh holes for the Warriors one-two punch of Reiff and Dahlstrom last week as the running backs combined for 298 yards on the ground. The Warriors have been successful on the defensive front too, and have dominated the line of scrimmage while farcing key mistakes. It was the relentless hitting of these Warriors that made the difference in the three wins and they will be even more important this Friday because the Lions will be big, really big. The offensive line for the Lions will be the biggest the Warriors have faced all season long, and in addition to being big, the scouting report said they executed to near perfection. To make things even more difficult, the Lions will be mixing things up on the defensive line. In last week’s win against the Redskins, they shifted a linebacker to the line and this tactic helped in limiting the Redskins to nine yards on the ground in the second half. They will be showing the Warriors all kinds of defensive line-ups and it will be up to Wawasee’s line to react to to the changes. Coach Myron Dickerson will be working on these shifting techniques to prepare the Warriors. If the Lions confuse the Warriors line, that creates indecision. “Whenever there is doubt in the offensive line, that doubt will take away aggressiveness. We will have to get confidence to be aggressive. "Whenever there is doubt in the offensive line, that doubt will take away aggressiveness. We will have to get confidence to be aggressive..." — Head Coach Myron Dickerson. And it will take all of the aggressive"® Bß the Warrior linemen can muster to be successful in this contest. “It’s going to be the toughest ball game since Goshen, they will be very big. “Tilings are not going to go as readily as it has in the last three games, ” he said. Patience And Poise An important key for the Warriors in this contest will be patience, said Dickerson. It will take patience because the

The extra point, on an end sweep, was scored by Mike Meek. The Yellow Jackets held Webster in the third quarter and scored on a 55-yard pass interception by Tim Mangas. The final scores came in the fourth quarter, on a 30-yard pass to Jeremy Corson, and an eightyard pass to Derrick Hendricks. Tie Pierceton On Thursday the Yellow Jackets traveled to Whitko. The eighth grade team played Pierceton to a 0-0 tie. According to the Syracuse coach the Yellow Jackets played their strongest opponent. Defense was led by Tim Mangas, Jack Bond, Mike

Cannon and Scott Robinson. The first half was touch and go for both teams, as the ball stayed between the 30-yard lines. The beginning of the third quarter saw Syracuse backed up to its own one-yard line, but the team was able to hold Pierceton scoreless. The fourth quarter Tim Mangas scored on a 67-yard reverse, but the play was nullified by illegal procedure by one of the linemen. According to the coach, this was one of the best junior high games in the last five years played by the Yellow Jackets. Syracuse will play South Whitley Thursday, Sept. 23, at 4:30 at Wawasee High School.

Wed., September 22,1982 —THE MAIL-JOURNAL

Warriors probably won’t score the first time they get the ball like they have in the last two contests. Even the highly-regarded defense will probably not keep the Lions oft the scoreboard. "We’re not going to dominate Bremen like we did the other teams in the last two games ... in a game like this, breaks are important.’’ So the Warriors will have to execute even better this Friday night, and one of the keys to good offense execution is the quarterback. Senior Rick Pena called a couple of audibles and engineered the last two touchdown drives in last week’s 33-0 blitz of Northridge without the aid of Dickerson. "We're not going to dominate Bremen like We did the other teams in the last two games ... in a game like this, breaks are important..." J Senior quarterback Blane Whitsei will usually throw the ball 20 times a game, but in the Goshen win the rain limited passing opportunities to seven. The leading rusher in the Redskins’ win was Phil Carusson who gained 87 yards on the ground. “They have fair-sire backs, but their mainstay is in>the size of their line people,” said Dickerson. “We’re just going to try and run where they give it to us.” Dickerson wants to give Pena's throwing arm another workout, but of course prefers to establish the Reiff-Dahlstrom combination before going to the airways. He believes gaining confidence will be important for the Warriors to do well, and he's extra happy this contest is going to beat home. “We won’t be doing anything different, we have to keep our poise ... we’ll be playing at home; it’s a conference game; these things will help with the emotional part of it.” Health-wise, a couple of big question marks could hurt the Warriors’ chances. Pat Inks may have injured his shoulder over the week end at home lifting weights, and Eric Beer is still a question mark suffering an injured Achilles' tendon. Northridge Summary • In last week’s first non-conference victory for the Warriors, the real story wasn’t the football game but the weather. The game was played in miserable conditions, with a virtual downpour in the first half. Despite it all, a fair-sized crowd of dedicated Wawasee fans sat through it all.. “I’d like to congratulate the people who came to the game,” Dickerson said. “We re very happy to see the following." He commented that several of the players mentioned to him the fans’ support, and he believes this will be an important key in this Friday’s contest. The offense dominated throughout the contest with Dahlstrom and Reiff chewing up the Raiders turf. Dahlstrom remained on top of the area scoring race with his three touchdowns and 168 yards in 22 carries. Reiff had 131 in 20 attempts. The Warriors marched 63 yards on their first possession, featuring a 13-yard run by Dahlstrom and Reiff’s 11-yard blast into the end zone. Dahlstrom grabbed an interception and ran it back 19 yards setting up the second TD when Dahlstrom took the honors from two yards out with 4:51 to go in the first stanza. The Warriors pounced on a fumble and three plays later Reiff scored the only TD in the second quarter from 13 yards out. Northridge showed some courage in the third stanza, but the Warriors reached paydirt again with 10:31 left to go after a 74yard drive. The final TD was set up by another Northridge turnover, with Dahlstrom and Reiff doing all of the rushing.
