Changes await Goshert's second WHS campaign

Changes are nothing new to Wawasee's boys' basketball prot gram. Coaches come and go. nearly as often as the high school's graduation rate. Last season was no exception The Warriors played for a new coacht— Gary Goshert — and played quite well Under Goshert's reign. Wawasee finished second in the Northern Lakes Conference. Only a very poor outing at Concord kept the Warriors from winning the NLC Wawasee's winning attitude was a surprise to mani spectators. Most felt it would take a year or so for the players to adjust to a new coaching philosophy It didn't. Goshert’s philosophy was familiar to the Warriors It resembled Wysong's — play hard-nosed defense, give 100% effort and leave the court satisfied with the effort. But\a new year is quickly approacning. the Warriors open the season November 20. against Carroll The game will be the first of 20 for Wawasee. <0 And just like in years of coaching changes, this season will have a new look. The changes, however, were not initiated byWawasee’s administration. Instead, the Indiana High School Athletic Association. . The high school legislators voted to update the high school gamejaringing it in uniform with the college game. The only difference between the games, now, are the age of players, their skill level and high school players don’t use a shot clock yet.

Hopefully the changes will work out We ll know after the season if it was successful. The most noteworthy change was the addition of the threepoint play. Apparently. IHSAA officials believe perimeter shooting is more important than team concepts.

Mark My Words M \RK < ** J

Many coaches disagree. This strategy goes against the grain of the original game. Basketball was designed as a team game, that's what Goshert learned, that's what he teaches. In 1987. however, he might have to go away from this thinking and send a few players across the line, perhaps downtown Syracuse, to win a game. If it works then it's successful. I guess. Still, knowing Goshert, he’d much rather work the ball inside the paint and have his big man power the ball in the hoop. That still may happen, but if his perimeter shooters aren't shooting accurately, it could be very difficult for his post players

Iwankowitsch won the 100 backstroke with a 1:09.8 swim. Sherry Payne and Debbie Bickel teamed with Iwankowitsch and Guimond to win the opening event of the meet, 200-yard medley relay. The winners finished in 2:02.1. Wawasee other relay team — 400-yard freestyle relay — closed the meet with a win. Sirena Bartow, Ridings. Boles and Stef Berkey finished in 4:23.4 for the win. Meanwhile, Bartow led the list of Warriors placing second. The Warrior was runner-up in the 200-yard freestyle, while Payne was second in the 50-yard free. Payne added another second place swim in the 100-yard freestyle, the same event Bartow placed third. Iwankowitsch was second in the 100 butterfly and Stef Berkey was second in the

to play effectively. But that's' not the only change awaiting tie start of the 1987-88 high jchbol Season. Another change, one welcomed by Goshert and most high school coacfihs, Is the modification of thetjenahrule In retrospect, the rule may have more of an influence on Wawasee girls’ basketball coach. Dale Brannock, than Goshert Time will tell. In 1985, the IHSAA voted to require coaches to stay in their seats during play Violation of the rule would be a technical foul. Now, after two years of controversy, the IHSAA has modified the rule and will permit coaches to stand within a six-foot area and give instruction to a player. The coach can be in the area during live or dead ball situations. But the rule specifies that only one coach from a team may be standing for most of the game. All coaches will be permitted tp x stand during a timeout or intermission. Coaches will not be permitted to have dialogue with an official while standing in the box Although IHSAA officials opted to modify the 1985 rule, the national high school group voted against modification. Ohio is another state that’s modified the coaching rule. For no other reason than the two IHSAA changes. Wawasee's upcoming basketball season should be interesting. Seeing Goshert adapt to the new legislation could be worth the price of admission. \ There’s no doubt his Warriors will be worth every penny.

A Kid’s First Game

I By BERT RANDOLPH SUGAR PM Editorial Services Remember taking your kid to his first ballgame 9 Bargain basement psychiatrists tell us it’s a rite of passage. But for most of us it’s something that just has to be done, one of nature's rules, as unexplainable as losing one sock in the dryer A few years back, my thenyoung son came to me with the startling announcement that he would like to go to a football game. The problem was I had come to view my son as someone who stood halfway between an adult and a TV set, especially during football telecasts For all I knew he thought the Buffalo Bills were some acts passed by Congress back in 19-aught-4. 1 mean, here was a kid who had blindly accepted my explanation that bowling was merely a game of marbles for grown-ups and now he wanted to go to a football game? A poke in the eye with a sharp stick seemed a preferable alternative The game I finally selected was a Giants Cowboys game, not that I’m a fan of either team Raised a Washington Redskins fan, the only reason I would dare go to such a game would be to keep my disgust for both teams fresh Nevertheless, my son was excited about the prospect, and that’s what counted After a set of instructions from his mother that would make any Rockne ever gave his Notre Dame team pale by comparison. Public Energy Number One was packed into the car for the long trek over to Giants Stadium. And almost before we got out of the

Dana sinks Wawasee Boat

Craig Cripe, netted 24 for Wawasee Boat, which dropped its season mark to 0-2. Dana is perfect after one game. In other action.

driveway, he had begun his obligatory, “Are we there yet?” After 50 minutes, five traffic jams, and 25 more “Are we there yets?” we finally arrived at the stadium. Less than five minutes into the game, he announced, in his best imitation of a loud speaker, that he had to go to the bathroom. And so we set out in search of one. Fifteen minutes — and one quarter — later, mission accomplished, we finally relocated our seats, only to find that my son also had a stomach. Off we went again, this time with my son leading the procession to the concession stand. Back by half time, he suddenly remembered he hadn’t visited the souvenir stand. And so it was

Alford set with Mavs

DALLAS — Steve Alford, the former Indiana University guard, remains confident about his chances at making the Dallas Mavericks roster. Team officials must cut their roster to 12 players this week The former Hoosier played in six preseason basketball games for Dallas, averaging six points and nearly two assists. He made 15 of 21. from the field (71 percent), including three of four three-point attempts. Alford’s major dilemma is that Dallas has six other guards on the roster. Starters Rolando Blackman and Derek Harper, along with reserve Detlef Schrempf are locked. The final roster move most likely will come between guards

state finals with its fifth place finish. Jason Douglas led the way for Wawasee, placing 25th at 16:38. Steve Eastman was 32nd with his 16:44 finish, while Jeff Carey placed 39th at 16:51. Other Warriors fairing well were Eric Mock, 42nd at 16:53 and Chad Jones, 53rd in 16:59. Plymouth’s Pete Bieghler was the semistate individual champion, winning the race with a 16:02 time.

16 points for the winners while Steve Sharp had 11 for the 0-1 Rubber team. Kozon improved to 2-0 with a 69-66 victory over Rockwood. Darrell Hicks scored 22 points for Kozon, while Tony Clifton had 26 for Rockwood, now 1-1. Finally, Sturonjac used Bob Slyvester’s 16 pointsen route to a 97-50 romp past Voyagers, O-2. Brian Sands scored 16 for the losers. >

back again. By now I was getting the distinct impression that a stadium is a place where people with money to burn finally meet their match. After two more side trips to the men’s room and another to the concession stand, we finally resumed our seats. Just in time for the final four plays of the game. Grantland Rice once said, “It mattered not who won the game.” In any case, all that mattered was that I had taken my son to his first game, an act of charity that came with string attached — my purse strings. Sportswriter Bert Randolph Sugar is the author of over 20 books on baseball, football and boxing.

Brad Davis, Al Wood, first round choice Jim Farmer and Alford. Wood seems to be the logical choice, having a suspect preseason and suffering a shoulder injury. McCarthy honored WEST LAFAYETTE - Shawn McCarthy, Purdue’s punter and third-string quarterback, was named Midwest Player of the Week on offense for his part in Saturday’s 49-14 victory over Wisconsin. McCarthy, a 6-7, 214-pound sophomore, completed 20 of 31 passes for 333 yards and three touchdowns. He also averaged 46 yards punting.

Redskin D scalps CMA

CULVER — Goshen Used a brilliant defensive effort and season-best rushing attack Friday to power itself past Culver Military Academy, 20-7, in a Class 4A sectional semifinal game. The Goshen victory sends the Redskins, 9-1, into Friday’s sectional final against East Noble, the only team to defeat the Redskins. The Knights, 8-2, edged Goshen 13-9 one month ago. The Redskins dominated the from the opening kick off. Goshen accumulated 335 total yards compared to the Eagles' 173 — 172 on the ground. Ta Around the NLC Only once did Culver Military cross midfield, moving to the Redskins’ 47 on the second-to-last play of the game. Culver put its only points on the board when Stewart jlolmes picked off a Randy Mirer pass at the Eagles’ 30. The defensive back raced 70 yards for the fourth quarter score. Meanwhile, Mirer had little trouble moving the Goshen offense. He mixed his plays extremely well, evident by the balanced statistics — 182 yards passing and 153 on the ground. Mirer gave the Redskins the quick lead, hitting Brian Weaver on a 17-yard touchdown pass in the first period. Eric Gouker capped the 72-yard, three-play scoring drive with the extra point. The Redskins put the game out of reach in the second quarter, scoring two touchdowns. Marcel Yoder, who rushed for 101 yards on 18 carries, blasted through Culver’s defensive line for seven yards and the score. The big play in the 57-yard drive was a 27-yard pass completion from Mirer to Steve Cripe. Gouker added the point after for a comfortable 14-0 lead. Goshen’s defense continued to stop Culver on three plays, forcing an Eagle punt. That was enough to set up another Redskins score. Moving effectively with the pigskin for the third consecutive time, Goshen found paydirt when Jim Hoke sprinted 10 yards for the score. It was Hoke’s first action in six games. Gouker failed to convert on the extra point, leaving the Redskins with a 20-0 lead late in the second quarter.

The missed extra point had no bearing on the final outcome. NORTHWOOD 21, PLYMOUTH • — Defense was the name of the game Friday when North Wood completely shut down Plymouth’s offense en route to its lopsided 21-0 sectional semifinal victory. The win raises North Wood’s mark to 7-3 and advances the Panthers into Friday’s sectional championship against New Prairie. It was North Wood’s third straight shutout. The game was never in doubt after Jim Powell’s two-yard run gave the hosts a 7-0 lead in the opening period. The game re- , mained that way until the Panothers sealed the decision with two-second half touchdowns. While North Wood seemed content to sit on its 7-0 lead in the third period, Plymouth was frustrated. The Rockies could generate no offense, evident by their 80 yards gained in the game. Compounding Plymouth’s lack of offense was the injury to quarterback Brent Ossswald. The senior QB went to the sidelines with a leg injury in the second quarter and never returned. He later had his leg X-rayed but no report was given. Meanwhile, as Osswald went down so did the Rockies. Plymouth couldn’t control Northwood trom matung big plays, the first turning into a score. The Panthers, moving from their 29, needed six plays to score. Doug Odiorne culminated the drive with a reverse-field touchdown run. The play seemed to break Plymouth’s back. North Wood added an insurance touchdown in the fourth quarter. Randy Weirick’s nine-yard run provided the final margin. BREMEN 44, TRITON • — Bremen proved its strength Friday evening when it netted 308 yards, compared to 19 by Triton in its 44-0 shellacking of the Trojans. The game belonged to Bremen’s Joe Bennett. The Lions' quarterback was seven-for-17 in passing for 197 yards and three touchdowns. Richard Moren’s one-yard run early in the opening period proved to be enough points for the Lions. Bremen added a Corey McKenzie touchdown later in the period, then salted the game away with a safety and Bennett to Ron Coffel touchdown pass in the second. The Lions, 9-1, battle South Central Friday evening for the sectional championship.
