Jr. high boys win tourney There was a high level of tension felt in the air as the Warsaw Jr. high boys basketball team stepped onto the court belonging to the Sacred Heart Gremlins. This was the game the Wildcats had been wailing for all season. The cham- pionship. It was for the title. Sacred Heart had not lost a single game in two years. The Wildcats knew they were the ones to knock the Gremlins off their pedestal. And that they did! The score: 42 to 32 (Warsaw ' s favor) was the proudest and the most deserved of the entire season. Johnathan Gott commented, We had played them before and they were bad sports. We wan- ted revenge! It was a good finale to the season, stated Coach Barry Edwards, ' this was one of the stronger Jr. high teams that Warsaw ' s ever had. Eric Flores, eighth grade said, I feel proud to be a part of the team. I didn ' t realize how good we were until I looked over the scores at the end of the season. r ft Tha throo point shot ctianged basketball strategy so Shawn Grubb practices his shot, f- ' hoto by Brandon Boise Corey Euttler works on his free throw shot.

Littio does Coach Edwards know that Jonathan, Gott is telling jokes instead of discussing the plays. Photo by Wayne Jackson Success lifts players ' spirit Junior high volleyball and football both ended the year with a winning season. The football team had four consecutive wins, one loss, and one game against California that ended in a tie at zero. Coach Edwards stated, We had a very suc- cessful season. The boys learned several skills which will stay with them in their following years of football. Jonathon Gott excelled in both of- fense and defense. Others such as Shaun Grubb, Roy Johnson, Justin Kindle and Eric Fiores were also standouts at their positions. I was impressed with the leadership of the eighth graders. The seventh grade also shows a great deal of promise for next year. The volleyball team finished the season with a seven and five record. The proud players also received second place in the Green Ridge Tournament. Coach Peggy Gilmore was very proud of the team and she stated, I think they did excep- tionally well considering we only had two girls that came back. I was really impressed with their hussle and attitude they showed in practice and that carried over in the game situations. It was fun. At first I didn ' t think I could make the team but I did. I didn ' t get to play much but it was a fun experience. Hopefully I will get to play next year and make the team. Practice was fun and we played a lot of neat games and learned lots of skills, stated Rachel Newberry, eighth grader.
