Former stars shine with Lancers

By TOM CHARLES Sports Writer Two former Wawasee High School basketball stars are suited up for action with the Grace College Lancers who opened the 1983-84 campaign with one win and two losses in the first week. Jeff Long, ’B2, and Worth Packer, ’7B, are both expected to see plenty of action for coach Jim Kessler. Long is in his second season for the red and white, while Packer is in his rookie year. Long is a 6’ 0”, soft-shooting guard who saw most of his action on the reserve squad last winter. He is in a battle with Lane Lewallen, a graduate of Elkhart Memorial, for one of the starting roles in the backcourt. The other guard spot is secured by Neal Frantz, a senior who shot 58 per cent from the floor last year. Packer is returning to school just in time to aid Kessler who needs some new talent under the boards. The 6’ 4” North Webster native will be counted upon to spark the Lancers’ inside game along with Doug Wilcoxson, a 6’ 5” junior. The remaining starting position under the boards will be in the capable hands of John Boal. Boal, a 6’ 7” senior, shot a sizzling 67 per cent form the field in the 1982-83 campaign and is a, candidate for NAIA AllAmerican honors. He averaged 18.6 points per game and hauled down an average of eight rebounds per contest. Strong program Kessler has established a winning tradition at the Winona Lake institution. Last year his team was 32-5, finishing first in the Mid-Central Conference, second in the National Christian College Athletic Association finals in Chattanooga, Tenn., and second in the NAIA District 21 tournament.

The two roundballers are expected to play important roles on coach Jim Kessler’s squad which is in search of a second consecutive Mid-Central Conference title. The Lancers opened the season last week end in the Mount Vernon Nazarene (Ohio) tournament.

However. Kessler is cautious about predicting the same kind of success for this team. “We lost several key players, but we will do the best we can, and see what happens,” he remarked. “I want to be realistic about this team. Last year things just fell together and we had a super year. I think we will be a competitive team,” he added. Kessler expects his Lancers to be quick, forcing the pace of the game in the hopes of wearing down the opposition. “We like to run,” he said. “We’ll use a variety of presses and use the fast break quite a bit. We’ll be an exciting team to watch,” he promised. The greatest challenge facing the Lancers is to establish some balance between their perimeter and inside games. If the team has one weakness, it could be the ability to be competitive inside the paint. “Our weakness could be rebounding,” said Kessler. “If we don’t do that well, we will be in trouble.” Conference “We will definitely be competitive in the Mid-Central Conference, but the race should be a real dog fight,” Kessler predicted. Marion College, Huntington College and Bethel (Mishawaka) College all have strong programs and are not to be counted out of the title hunt. Goshen College, the remaining MCC school, has a host of new faces and remains to be tested in conference action. The Lancers begin conference play after the Christmas break. Each team plays a home-and-home round robin in the conference. Last year the Lancers were 7-1 in the MCC. “This group of players plays with reckless abandon,” concluded Kessler. “It is a fun team to work with.”
