Warriors face Falcons in sectional

With the regular season winding down, coach Myron Dickerson and his baseball team have their eyes fixed on the upcoming Goshen Sectional. The tournament begins on Monday with Goshen facing Bethany Christian and North Wood squaring off against Jimtown. Wawasee and Fairfield drew byes and will face each other in a 10 a.m. contest on Saturday, June 2. “I think we got a good sectional draw,” commented Dickerson, whose team downed Fairfield 12-2 early in the season. “But the big dilemma for me is which pitcher I am going to start in the first game.” Normally, Dickerson would not hesitate to go with staff ace Brian Henson. But, under IHSAA rules, a pitcher is only allowed 10 innings of work in three days and Dickerson would like to have Henson’s services if the Warriors make jin to the sectional championship.

Tennis team bows out with 3-10 mark

Wawasee’s girls' tennis, team closed out a rough season with a 5-0 defeat at the hands Elkhart Central in the Elkhart regional. The loss dropped the Warriors’ record to 3-10 on the year. Although the varisty squad suffered through the disappointing season, the junior varsity team enjoyed a 04 season. Christie Carmichael paced the young Warriors with a 10-2 record, winning 68 percent of her games.

Tris Speaker, the great American baseball player, was known as the "Gray Eagle" because of his gray hair and his speed in playing the outfield.

“The biggest factor is offense,” Dickerson explained. “We’ve had trouble scoring runs this year. With Brian on the mound, we have a good chance at winning a low scoring game. If we were a strong hitting team, I would save Brian for the next game.” If Henson does not pitch in the opener, Dickerson can call on the services of Tony Blackburn. Dave Kistler, Rob Jewson or Steve Yoder. But they do not pose the shutout threat that Henson does, and the Warriors will have to generate some offense to back them up. { In an April 10 meeting, the Warriors pounded out 10 hits and buried Fairfield by the score of 12-2. Henson picked up the win in that contest, striking out eight. Although that result should give the Warriors some confidence heading into the sectional, Dickerson is careful with his optimism. “I’ve talked to several coaches who faced Fairfield late in the

Jennifer Stettler and Kelly Rensberger also had fine seasons for the junior varsity. Stettler posted an 8-5 mark and 56 percent winning percentage, while Rensberger was 7-4 with a 53 percent winning average. With the close of the season, Wawasee looks to continue building a quality tennis program. Coach Cindy Peterson loses four of her 19 players, with eight coming from her most productive class, the sophomores. Comparing her athletes in classes, the freshmen won 253 games out of 566 for a winning percentage of 45.6. Meanwhile, the sophomores captured 655 vic-

season,” he said. “From what I hear, they struggled early in the season but have been playing well at the end.” The Warriors were 1-1 in Northern Lakes Conference action last week to bring their record to 12-14 overall and 4-10 in the NLC. Last Wednesday, a late rally helped the Warriors to down Rochester by a 3-2 count. Todd Roberts scored the tying run on a Brad Mitchell single in the bottom of the seventh inning. The Warriors then loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth, and scored the winning run on a Rochester error. Steve Yoder and Brian Henson shared pitching duties for the Warriors. Henson was credited with the victory. Last Friday, Concord took a 2-0 decision from the Warriors. The NLC champions scored one run in each of the first two innings off Warrior hurler Tony Blackbum. but were unable to tally the rest of the way.

The number one and two singles positions, held primarily by Sharon Bohnstedt and Lisa Keener, combined for a 5-24 mark during the season. Wawasee finished eighth in the conference, well behind Peterson's expectations.
