Wawasee mauls Lions

By MARK HUFFMAN Staff Writer The Wawasee Warriors stalked, declawed, then rolled over an out-sized Bremen Lion offense that netted only 40 yards in a 38-7 Northern Lakes Conference loss at Don J. Bunge field Friday, Aug. 29. While the stalking lasted longer than Coach Myron Dickerson would have liked, Wawasee wouldn’t stop after putting an initial six points on the board S minutes into the second quarter, tallying 9 more before the half. “We should have been in complete control earlier in the game,’’ Dickerson said, adding, “The offensive line did a very poor job in the first half. ” That lapse in an otherwise perfect night resulted in Bremen defenders entering- the Warrior backfield. “They were scrappy and blitzed well,” according to Dickerson. However, an animated Wawasee defense bolstered the offensive unit, showing the form that took them to the Class AAA State Finals last year. Senior swingman Scot McDowell, who takes to the line on defense, bled his prowess over to the offense to cap a 53-yard scoring drive when he dove over from the three-yard line at the 3:29 mark. Nate Rhoades highlighted the march by gathering in a 34-yard aerial from quarterback Chris Cotton. After missing the’ extra point, junior kicker Bruce Jackson placated Warrior followers by connecting on a 35-yard field goal with 1:47 left in the half, following an interception by safety Chris Yoder.

was prompted by Bremen backup quarterback Richard Moren’s pass into heavy traffic, with defensive end Erick Jones batting the ball into the waiting hands of linebacker Troy Reiff who scooted 19-yards to the Bremen 16. After a deflected 15-yard strike from Cotton to senior Ben Beer, McDowell was called upon again to plunge over from the one with 33 seconds remaining. After a failed two-point conversion the Warriors romped into the locker room with a 15-0 cushion. Wawasee took up where it left off in the third quarter, with Bremen adding to its demise by fumbling on the third play from scrimmage and McDowell finding himself at the bottom of a pile. The versatile 224-pound senior rounded out the scoring drive by running 20-yards to set up a fiveyard touchdown trot for Cotton. Jackson connected for the PAT at the 9:96 mark and found himself in the same position two minutes later when Reiff intercepted his second pass of the evening and Cotton sneaked in from two yards out five plays later. Defensive tackle Garrett Ponciroli capped the third quarter scoring by the Warriors when he collected a tipped Bremen pass and galloped 25-yards to the end zone. The Lion offense gave out one roar at the 4:08 mark of the period when junior linebacker Ron Cofrel intercepted a pass by back-up signal caller Chris Yoder and returned it 70-yards for the touchdown. However, the Lions weren’t above a purr the rest of the night, with Wawasee’s Jackson accounting for the final 38-7 score, con-

Linda Brower has volunteered to coordinate the “Bowl-For-Life” campaign. The program is dedicated to Terry, who has been a patient for the past eight years at St. Jude Children’s Hospital. Terry r Mount Carmel, 111., is a normal 11-year old girl who, in Mairch of 1978, developed acute lymphocytic leukemia, the most com- * mon form of childhood cancer. She has been in remission and off all medication since November 1980. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, Tenn., was founded by entertainer Danny Thomas The institution opened its doors to the public in 1982 to combat catastrophic diseases in children. St. Jude is nonsectarian, non-discriminatory r and provides total medical care to all patients At St. Jude, scientists and physicians work side by side seeking not only better means of treatment, but also the cause, cure, and prevention of these terrible killers. All information gained at St. Jude is shared freely with other hospitals and institutions the world over Sponsor forms are now available at Wawasee Bowl.

necting on a 27-yard field goal with 8:32 remaining in the fourth quarter. An injury to starting quarterback Jamie Bellman dampened Bremen spirit even more, with Moren being called to duty after the senior jammed his neck just four minutes into the game in an attempt to recover one of the Lions’ four fumbles. Meanwhile, Wawasee quarterbacks Cotton and Yoder attempted to make fans forget 1985 mental attitude award winner Brad Traviolia with impressive outings. “Cotton has proved himself as our starting quarterback, while Yoder did a good job of running the option,” Dickerson said. Cotton finished with 76 yards, completing five of 13 passes and taking over a leadership role. The offense rolled up 287 total yards, with 16 first downs, while the defensive unit limited Bremen to just three first downs: However, Dickerson still found blemishes in the Wawasee picture, noting, “If things don’t get better in ‘mudville’ it’s going to be a rough season. ” The punting game was a source of concern for the seventh-year coach, with the Warriors averaging 25 yards on the kick. “We have to work on our punting game, while there are other things we ‘definitely’ have to improve before next week, ’ ’ he said, referring to Wawasee’s date with Rochester Friday night, Aug. 5. Rochester will be hungry after a 18-3 loss to Tippecanoe Valley, invading the Warrior field at 7:30 p.m. “They match up with us better (than Bremen) size-wise, it will be a very good test for us,” Dickerson concluded.
