Warrior tennis squad loses to Goshen, now 6-2 on season

By SCOTT DAVIDSON Sports Writer

The Wawasee boys’ tennis team saw its season mark fall to 6-2 (0-2 in the NLC) with a 3-2 setback to conference foe Goshen last night (Tuesday) at the Phend Field courts. “We knew that it would be a tough match and they have a very good team that will be tough in the conference,” commented Wawasee coach Roger Brady after the loss. Jason Hollar, playing at the number-one singles position, dropped a 0-6, 3-6 decision to Andy Streit while teammate Mason Robbins was defeated, 0-6, 0-6, in number-two singles play by Goshen’s Pete Golden. Chris Shidler outlasted Matt James, 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (7-3), to register a win at the number-three singles spot for the Warriors. The Wawasee number-one doubles duo of Adam Wilson and Kermit Kropf notched a 6-7, 6-3, 6-0 win over the Redskin pair of Mike Harley and Joe Schmucker while the number-two doubles combination of Jerry Smith and Jerry Hutchinson dropped a 4-6, 2-6 match to Troy Swartzendruber and Scott Miller. The Wawasee junior varsity squad dropped a 4-1 decision to the Redskins, with the numberone doubles team, of Tim Whiteman and Chris Ganshorn recording the team’s lone win of the match. The netters will look to bounce back with a conference match tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon at Northridge before returning to action at home next Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. for a showdown with traditional rival Warsaw. “Northridge lost quite a few players to graduation and we should be able to handle them, while Warsaw has a good team but I don’t think that they’re any better than what we faced at Goshen,” said Brady. Capture Wawasee Invitational The Warriors were able to raise their season mark to 6-1 as they easily defeated Columbia City, Fairfield and Jimtown on Saturday to win the Wawasee Invitational.

Lady swimmers drop season opener to talented Penn squad

By SCOTT DAVIDSON Sports Writer

“I thought that the team did very well considering that Penn was number three in the state last season and returned almost its entire team this year,” commented Roger Karns, first-year Wawasee girls’ swim coach, after seeing the squad drop a 98-68 decision at Penn last night (Tuesday) in its season opener. The Lady Warriors, who received 10 personal best performances, were led by the first place efforts of Sherry Payne (50and 100-yard freestyles), Krista Guimond (100 breaststroke), and Julie Gunn (diving) in individual

Harriers stay undefeated for 1989

I By MITCHELL STINSON Sports Writer

Wawasee High School’s harriers looked strong on both sides of the gender gap during yesterday’s (Tuesday) home cross country meet. The boys’ team went to 2-0 on the season with a 20-36 victory over the Goshen Redskins, while the girls scored an easy 16-45 win over the Lady Redskins in their dual meet opener Wawasee’s Jason Douglas continued his dominance of the young season with an easy firstplace finish among the boys. The senior standout completed the 3.1-mile course in a time of 16 minutes and 36 seconds. “Jason ran an outstanding time on our course,” said Warriors coach Jerry Minton. “I think he was eight or nine seconds off the course record.” The rest of the team recorded times that were just “okay,” according to Minton. The most ex- * citing part of the race found Wawasee sophomore Eric Streby beating out Goshen’s Eric Solyom for second place. The two harriers were neck-and-neck un-

events. The team’s 200-yard medley relay foursome of Guimond, Payne, Brandee Carlson and Lori Boles also captured first with their effort. Junior Dawn Firestone turned in the lone second place performance of the meet, taking the runner-up spot in the diving event behind teammate Gunn. “I thought that our diving was excellent last night,” remarked Karns. The squad took four third place finishes on the night with Carlson (100 butterfly and backstroke), Guimond (200 individual medley) and the 400-yard freestyle relay team of Sara Kline, Chris Ridings, Teresa Chestnut and Stacy Neterer.

til Streby pulled away in the last 400 meters to clinch second in a time of 17:08. Wawasee’s dominance of the top five was rounded out by a fourth-place finish by Eric Mock and a fifth-place finish by Ryan Shoemaker. Other Warriors in the top 10 were Chad Jones (Bth) and Cuong Reed (10th) It was a true team effort in the girls’ meet, as Lady Warrior teammates Lori Gargett and Angie Garner tied for first with times of 16:33. Mel Hobbs finished in third at 16:43 and Gina Minton recorded a 17:31 en route to a fourth-place finish. Wawasee’s lady harriers have been overshadowed by the fine boys’ program in recent times.

What are we cheering for, anyway?

Maybe you thought someone I just made up the names of college sports teams. Perhaps you never gave it a second thought. Where 1 did they get the names ’ “Tarheels” and “Boilermakers”? And what exactly is a i “Hoya" anyway? In reality, school nicknames often are steeped in tradition. The University of Alabama, for example, acquired its current name, the “Crimson Tide,” when in 1907, its football team beat the odds and tied archrival Auburn during a torrential downpour. A reporter coined the phrase “Crimson Tide” because the match was played in a “sea of mud.” At Purdue University, two new coaches who were dissatisfied with scrawny team members hired several husky boilermaker workers, who assemble or repair boilers, as reinforcements. The press heavily criticized the team, which went on to record a string of victories in 1889. calling them "sluggers," “cornfield sailors,” “haymakers'’ and the one that stuck, “boilermakers.” At Georgetown, the traditional “Bulldog" mascot often is dropped in favor of "Hoyas.” School legend has it that years ago a Georgetown team called the "Stonewalls" was dubbed “Hoia saxa,” combining Greek and Latin terms to mean "what rocks!” One of many stories explaining the origin of "The Tarheel State,” which gave the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill athletic teams their name, dates back to the Revolutionary War According to legend, tar was dumped into what is now the Tar River to inhibit British troops from crossing. When the troops did reach the other side, their feet were black, leading them to believe that apyone crossing a North Carolina river would end up with tar heels. Similarly, the Oklahoma “Sooners" team name dates back to early settlement of that region. According to legend, some individuals “cheated,” coming out early to stake their claims and thus were dubbed "Sooners." One of the more widely accepted theories behind the origin of the Indiana University "Hoosiers" dates back to 1825, when contractor Samuel Hoosier began working on the Louisville

“We had 10 personal bests last night, which is impressive, and some of the young kids came through and did a nice job as well. We still have some areas to improve in, but I think that we’ll be okay as the season progresses,” the coach added. The 10 personal bests for the team were turned in by Neterer (200 IM and breaststroke), Kelly Bowman (50 freestyle), Gunn (diving), Firestone (diving and backstroke), Amy Pratt (100 freestyle), Gretchen Naugler (500 freestyle), Carlson (100 backstroke) and Shawna Miller (100 backstroke). The Lady Warriors will look for their first win of the young season when they entertain East Noble

But after seeing its solid performance yesterday, coach Minton thinks the girls’ team may become a force in its own right. “The girls, I think, are going to have a lot different season than they’ve had in the past few years,” Minton said. The Wawasee girls and boys return to action tomorrow (Thursday) in a home dual meet against the Lakeland Lakers. The action is scheduled to begin at 4:45 p.m., with the girls running f* rst Lady Warriors 16, Lady Redskins 45 Tied for first — Lori Gargett and Angie Garner (Wawasee), 16:33; 2nd-Mel Hobbs (Wawasee), 16:43; 4th-Gina Min-

and Portland (Ohio Falls) Canal. Hoosiers preferred the “better diggers" from the Indiana side of the river, and when the "Hoosier" men dispersed, they carried that name back home. While most teams have origins that are difficult to pinpoint, others have obvious names. Syracuse University officially adopted orange as the color for all its athletic teams in 1890. Originally called the Inmans, Syracuse teams eventually became known as the "Orangemen.” In the West, many teams boast names from the animal kingdom, including the Washington Huskies, the Texas Longhorns, the Oregon State Beavers, the UCLA Bruins and the University of California-Santa Cruz Banana Slugs. The Banana Slugs? According to Athletic Director Dan Wood, the choice of “Banana Slug" as the official school mascot at UCSanta Cruz reflected students’ desire that their sports program remain “as amateur and as pure as possible.”
