Semistate: Westview downs cold-shooting Harding in 2A battle, 59-48

ELKHART â??? Ultimately, the
sport of basketball comes down to putting the ball into the hoop. For this
simple reason, Westview advances to its first state finals following a Class 2A
semistate win over Harding in a battle of 17th-ranked teams.

Despite committing 10 more turnovers (23 to 13) than their
opponents, the Warriors led from start to finish in their 59-48 victory.
Westview, which was ousted in last yearâ??s regional semifinal, advances to play
top-ranked Heritage Christian at Conseco Fieldhouse next week.

The loss ends Hardingâ??s season a week after a big upset of third-ranked
Taylor in an
emotional regional championship. The Hawks had endured an injury to a top
player, a coaching change, and the death of a team member all in the past few
months.

Thanks to some cold shooting early by its opponent, Westview got
out to a quick 10-3 lead before Harding guard Rashida â??Sugarâ? Ray knocked down
a jumper with five seconds remaining in the quarter. Ray, who fractured her
foot in practice very early in the season, was seeing her first action in
months.

Both teams had trouble getting the ball into their stars early.
Harding forward Danielle Ben-Tsuvulun did not score in the first period, and
Westview center Tiffany Fisher had only two.
Fisher, however, came to life in the second quarter, at one
point scoring six straight as the Warrior lead stretched into double digits.

The sophomore sensation added two more baskets on back-to-back
possessions in the final two minutes of the half as Westview took a 23-11
advantage into the locker room.
Harding failed to capitalize on Westviewâ??s 12 first-half turnovers
as the Hawks shot a miserable 15.6 percent (5 for 32) in the opening quarters.

Westview guard Colette Lambright drained a three just 10 seconds
into the third quarter, then teammate Cheri Borkholder knocked down two free
throws and scored on a drive. Just 90 seconds into the second half, Hardingâ??s
once-manageable 12-point deficit had grown to 20.

Harding finally answered, going on a 13-3 run to finish the
quarter. And despite shooting an atrocious 19.6 percent (9 for 46) in the first
three quarters, the Hawks trailed by only 10, 34-24, entering the final period.

And they had hope.

MyQueisha Bratton, who led Harding with 18 points, put back a
miss, and Ben-Tsuvulun scored on the next possession, slicing the deficit to
six. After Westview guard Michelle Haney hit a pair from the line to stop
Hardingâ??s run, the Hawks got threes from Derrecka Rogers and Ray to bring them
within a basket.

These long-distance shots, however, were few and far between.
Harding shot only 4 of 24 from behind the arc for the game. In spite of the
poor shooting, however, the Hawks were able to stay in the game with tough
defense.

Westview had trouble breaking Hardingâ??s full-court defense, and
the Hawks fed off the Warriorsâ?? inability to hang onto the ball. At one point,
the Warriors went eight minutes without hitting a shot from the field.

In the end, however, it was Hardingâ??s inability to score that cost
the team. The Hawks shot 26 percent from the field and attempted 16 less free
throws than their opponents.

After Harding came within a point of the Warriors, Fisher hit a
layup to end the drought. She scored again on the next possession, and although
Harding was able to keep it close until the last minute, the Hawks could not
contain the 6â??1â? sophomore.

Fisher was a force inside all game, pulling down 13 rebounds and
scoring 16 of her 29 points in the final period. Hanley added 18 for the
Warriors, including 9 of 10 from the free throw line.

Ben-Tsuvlun scored 12 for Harding in the last game of her high
school career.

Semistate: No. 9 Luers upsets defending 3A champ SB St. Joseph's, 56-49

Posted on 26 February 2006 by alexanderscot.

Staff Writer


ELKHART â??? â??And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground.â?


So goes the famous Bible verse used in the movie â??Hoosiersâ? before Hickory upset the team from South Bend in the state championship. It may as well have been Fort Wayne Luers’ motto in the semistate championship Feb. 25 at Elkhart Central.


With a state finals berth on the line, the young Luers squad downed defending Class 3A state champion South Bend St. Josephâ??s, 56-49, in the second of two semistate championships in Elkhartâ??s North Side gym. The youthful Knights, who start four underclassmen, have not lost to a team from Indiana since Dec. 6 at Warsaw, a string of 17 consecutive victories inside the state.


Both teams started off hesitantly. Second-ranked St. Joeâ??s (22-3) committed seven turnovers while No. 9 Luers (23-4) shot 3 for 14 from the field in a first quarter that ended knotted at 8.


Early foul trouble hurt Luers as freshman Mary Hathaway and sophomore Amanda Pedro spent much of the first half on the bench. St. Joeâ??s led, 22-18, at the half.


Needing a spark after intermission, Luersâ?? captain Vini Dawson, the teamâ??s only senior, hit a pair of free throws and put back a miss in the first minute. The Knights then grabbed the lead when sophomore MarKee Martin, the gameâ??s leading scorer with 19 points, scored three the old-fashioned way with 6:28 remaining in the third.


Twenty seconds later, Dawson broke a 25-all tie with a 3-pointer. St. Joeâ??s guard Sydney Smallbone answered with the Indiansâ?? only three of the game to even the contest again. But Hathaway returned with three fouls and nailed a shot a step back from the arc, igniting a 10-2 Knight run that culminated in freshman Kelsey Wyssâ?? three-point play with 1:39 left in the third.


With Luers threatening to pull away before the final period, St. Joeâ??s senior guard Melissa Lechlitner began to carry her team. The Notre Dame-bound Lechlitner, the star of last yearâ??s state championship win over Corydon when she put up 28, scored eight of her team-high 16 points in the third. She scored on an easy layup and knocked down a jump shot to bring the Indians within four, 38-34, at the end of three.


St. Joeâ??s chipped away at the deficit in the fourth, tying the game twice before reclaiming the lead on a shot underneath from Lechlitner. The Knights responded, however, getting an easy two when Pedro found a wide-open Hathaway off an inbounds play.


Despite being held to just four points â??? all in the first quarter â??? Pedro was key for the Knights. The hero of the dramatic sectional championship game against Fort Wayne Concordia Lutheran grabbed 10 boards, many of those coming in critical stages late in the contest.


The Indians again tied the game on a pair from the line by Lechlitner, but the Knights got buckets from freshmen Megan Pedro and Wyss, creating a four-point gap. St. Joeâ??s would not lead or tie again.


St. Joeâ??s cut the deficit to a basket, 51-49, after a layup from 6â??5â? center Kristen Dockery with a minute on the clock, but Luers went 5 of 6 from the stripe in the last 60 seconds to preserve the victory.


Luers advances to play Evansville Memorial at Conseco Fieldhouse next week. The game will be the Knightsâ?? third appearance in the 3A state championship in the last five years, including a title in 2002 in coach Teri Rosinskiâ??s first year. The three years before that, Luers won back-to-back-to-back titles in the 2A tournament.

North Central dominates boys swimming state meet

INDIANAPOLIS â??? North
Central (Indianapolis) absolutely dominated the boys swimming state
championship this
year, winning seven of the 12 events Feb. 25 to repeat as
champion. It’s the Panthers’ third boys swimming title overall,
and for the accomplishment coach Bruce Patmos was voted
â??coach of the year.â?

The Panthers
started the meet at the IU Natatorium with a record-setting swim in the 200-yard medley
relay. Michael Christy, Riley Boulden, Peter Jameson, and Sean White
combined for a 1:32.95 time, breaking the old record of 1:33.05 set by
Carmel in the 2002 prelims.

Jameson, who broke the 200 freestyle
record on Friday night, was again dominant in the finals. He won in 1:37.11,
just slightly slower than his meet record 1:37.02. His senior teammate, Drew
Sease, finished second in the event.

Christy won the 200 individual medley with a 1:49.13 effort to earn his
second state championship in this event. This was a particularly fast
field this year. In prelims, nine swimmers posted Automatic
All-American times.

After winning the first three events of
the meet, North Central had developed a huge lead over its competitors.

Bryan Chovanec of Munster was victorious in the 50 freestyle in 20.81, edging Greencastle senior Andrew Bretscher (20.83).

In the 1-meter diving competition, Homestead senior
David Piercy scored 551.20 points to beat second-place senior Calib Dunnichay of Elwood. Of the 16 divers this year, 11 were
seniors. Two freshman and a sophomore made it into scoring this year, so this event will have a very different field next year.

Crown
Point senior Chris Morin edged Highlandâ??s Patrick Augustyn (50.74) and
Terre Haute Northâ??s Jonathan Jensen (50.81) to win the 100 butterfly in
50.47.

Jameson recorded an
individual double with a victory in the 100 freestyle (44.93). Andrew
Bretscher of Greencastle was second and Hamilton Southeastern junior
Spencer Osborn third.

Sease
dominated the 500 freestyle, winning in
4:30.47. Homestead senior Andrew Hoffman finished second, with senior
Chris Oleksiak
of Center Grove third. The top five included fourth-place freshman Bill
Bass of Chesterton and fifth-place junior Brenden Butler of
Yorktown (the author’s son!).

Homestead
won the 200
freestyle relay, with Adam Lill, Kyle
Frebel, Christopher Jones, and Hoffman combining for a time of 1:26.24.
This was a closely contested event — Munster, Chesterton,
and North Central also posted times within .7 of the winner.

Christy got his second win of
the day in the 100 backstroke with a time of 49.86. Christopher Pfaff
of South Bend Riley and HSE’s Osborn finished second and third, respectively.

Senior Aaron Koger of Richmond became
his schoolâ??s second-ever winner in the 100 breaststroke with a 56.09
time. He joins Chris Coveney (1981) as the Red Devilsâ?? only champions
in the event. This was a hotly contested race (see photo). 

The Panthers closed the meet by
winning the 400 freestyle relay for the second year in a row. The
foursome of Sease, Ken Minturn, Christy, and Jameson just missed
the meet record with a winning time of 3:04.24. Chesterton was
second and South Bend Riley third.

Semistate: Top-ranked SB Washington takes advantage of scoreboard snafu in 60-58 squeaker over No. 4 Kokomo

Posted on 25 February 2006 by alexanderscot.


By Brandon
Jones
Staff Writer

PLYMOUTH â??? Kokomo junior Rebekah Basinger
connected on what she thought was a 3-point basket with just over a minute
remaining in the Class 4A Semistate matchup Feb. 25 with top-ranked South Bend Washington.

The basket
would have brought No. 4 Kokomo within two points at 59-57, but it was not
meant to be. (More on that later.) In an aggressive contest that would see more
than 30 free throws made, the young No. 1 Panthers prevailed, 60-58, to advance
to the state finals March 4.

Nearly
5,000 fans packed into a standing-room-only crowd at Plymouth High School
to watch the weekendâ??s most glamorous semistate showdown, and they would not be
disappointed. While phenomenal freshman Skylar Diggins may get the majority of
the publicity for the Panthers, Washington
is FAR from a one-man (er, woman) show.

In a fast-paced
first quarter that saw runs by both teams, fans were on the edges of their seat
and emotions were running high. It sounds trite, but seriously, thatâ??s how it
was.

The teams
came out firing, but Kokomo
was just a little hotter early on. Behind sharp-shooting senior Whitney Farris,
Kokomo ran off
10 straight points after trailing 6-5 just minutes into the game.

But South Bend Washington
responded late in the quarter with a run of its own. Not Diggins, but rather
the duo of Emily Phillips and Ashley Varner did the damage in a 7-0 spurt that
pulled Washington
within two points at 18-16 after one quarter of play. Another seven straight
Panther points early in the second period then turned a five-point deficit into
a 23-21 lead.

At that
point, Kokomoâ??s
Audrey McDonald had seen enough. The senior connected from 3-point range, she
drove, and she got to the free throw line in scoring seven points in a
two-minute span, putting Kokomo
ahead at 29-24.

The final
basket was a crucial one as the three-point play gave Varner her third personal
foul.

With the
6-footer on the bench, someone needed to step up for South Bend. Enter Diggins.

Scoreless
to that point, Diggins (21.1 points, 5.6 assists per game) hit a mid-range jump
shot, then responded with a steal and three-point play on the next possession
as Washington
knotted it up at 29.

The Panthers,
now fueled by their star freshman, got hot while finding an answer to McDonald
on the other end. Washington
closed the half on a 12-2 run to take a 36-31 lead into the locker room.

A Whitney
Farris free throw started the second half of play for Kokomo
as the Wildkats pulled within four, but then South Bend Washington
and Diggins picked up right where they left off.

Three
consecutive 3-point baskets by three different scorers propelled the Washington bench and the
sellout crowd to their feet. A no-look pass from Diggins to Varner followed,
and Washington
had scored 11 of the first 12 points of the quarter for a cumulative 23-3 run
and a commanding 47-32 lead.

But Kokomo fought back with a
spurt of its own. An Olivia Martin three sparked a 9-1 Wildkat run to end the
quarter, and for all that excitement, Washington
had failed to extend its halftime lead as the score stood at 49-44 heading into
the fourth.

If ask
most Kokomo
fans what they remember about the fourth quarter from this contest, few will
mention the spectacular play of both teams. On the contrary, many likely will
refer to the happenings during the gameâ??s closing minutes.

Free
throws would set the tone for much of the pressure-packed quarter as the
aggressive play continued. Washington
went up by nine at 55-46 midway through the final stanza on a beautiful driving
layup by Diggins with an assist from sophomore point guard Phillips.

But the more-experienced
Wildkats struck back quickly by driving into the paint rather than settling for
jump shots, and Kokomo
pulled within 57-54 with just under two minutes remaining. But after a timeout
by Washington
coach Marilyn Coddens, Varner returned to the lineup with four fouls and scored
an easy basket to put the Panthers ahead, 59-54.

This is
where the blur begins for Kokomo
fans.

A jumper
from the left corner by Basinger was good, and a referee signaled to the scorerâ??s
table that two points should be awarded for the basket. But apparently another
official had signaled three, and the scoreboard flashed a 59-57 advantage for South Bend.

Washington pushed the ball back down the court
immediately, so there was no time for a review or conference at the scorerâ??s
table.

A Washington miss with
under 30 seconds to play gave the Wildkats possession, down by two points â?¦ or
so they thought.

The
scoreboard still read 59-57 as McDonald stepped to the line with 13 seconds left
after being fouled on a 3-point attempt. But the 90 percent free throw shooter could
only connect on two of the three attempts, and the contest was now tied at 59.

Right?

Wrong.

As Washington waited to
inbound the ball for what was thought to be an attempt to win or send the game into
overtime, the officials had a conversation at midcourt. The conference
continued and made its way over to the scorerâ??s table, where a point was
deducted from Kokomoâ??s
total.

That made
the score 59-58 in favor of Washington,
which now only needed to inbound the ball and convert from the free throw line.
And the Panthers did just that.

Sort of.

Phillips
was fouled immediately and went to the line. She made the first attempt, but
missed the second. McDonald grasped the rebound for Kokomo, which elected not to take a timeout
but rather dribble down the court for the potential game-winning 3-pointer.

When
McDonaldâ??s 30-foot attempt fell short and time expired, Washington had escaped with a 60-58 victory.

The
referees also escaped to the locker room as a host of boos from the Kokomo crowd echoed
through the gymnasium.

For Kokomo (23-3), Farris led
the way with 22 points, 19 coming in the second half. McDonald added 18 but had
just five in the second half.

Phillips
had 16 points and Diggins 12 for South Bend Washington, which improved to 25-1 and will face No. 11
Castle for the 4A state championship next Saturday evening in Indianapolis.

4A No. 2 Pike overcomes slow start in sectional tuneup to defeat Warren Central, 67-55

Posted on 25 February 2006 by alexanderscot.


By Brandon
Jones
Staff Writer

INDIANAPOLIS — Upon speaking with Pike coach
Larry Bullington prior to tipoff of his Class 4A second-ranked squadâ??s contest Feb.
24 with Warren Central, one could tell the Red Devilsâ?? general was quite
nervous entering the game.

Bullingtonâ??s
team had played top-ranked Lawrence North down to the wire before dropping a
seven-point decision just three days earlier. To boot, the Red Devils had a
â??ho-humâ? week of practice following that contest as they were down in spirits.

Bullington
hoped his team would shake off the rust and avoid a letdown against talented
Warren Central. Early on, though, that was not the case.

The Warriors
came out and ran their half-court offense to perfection early in the first
quarter, while Pike failed to match the visitorsâ?? intensity level. Bullington
criticized his team during the first timeout to simply â??play hard.â?

They would
eventually get there in a 67-55 victory.

After
surrendering the first four points of the game to Warren Central, the Red
Devils rattled off eight consecutive points. They did so in a run-and-gun
fashion that was totally opposite from the patient style employed by the
guests.

Yet the
Warriors got back into it behind senior Marcus Thomas. Five consecutive points
midway through the period and a Jason Clardy dunk knotted the contest at 13 at
the 2:00 mark.

The Red
Devils responded by taking advantage of turnovers. Pike, behind the play of junior
Phil Collins, scored seven of the periodâ??s final nine points to take a 20-15
lead after eight minutes.

The teams
traded baskets early on in the second period before the Warriors exploded with
a quick 7-0 spurt to tie the game at 25. The pace slowed in the second quarter,
which allowed Warren Central to trump Pikeâ??s athleticism. Free throws by each
team would close out the scoring in a defensive-minded second period, and the
teams headed into the locker room tied at 27-27.

After
intermission, the Red Devils shook off the rust in the second half and played
like the team that nearly shocked the state 72 hours earlier.

Pike tallied
13 of the gameâ??s next 18 points in a third quarter that much resembled the
first. In the midst of a run spearheaded by senior Reese Cheathamâ??s five points,
the Devils scored nine in a row to garner their biggest lead of the evening at
44-32.

Warren
Central, now playing in desperation to prevent the smooth-rolling Red Devils from
turning this one into a rout, was able to cut the lead back to single digits on
a David Smith rebound jam as the third quarter expired. The Warriors still had
some work to do, however, as they trailed 47-38 entering the final period of
play.

Too much
work, as it turned out. The Warriors were never able to get closer than six
points in the final period, and every time Warren scored, Pike had an answer. The fourth
quarter provided excellent shooting from both teams, but the Red Devils were
just a little stronger as they forced the ball inside and scored from the
paint.

Warren
Central was able to hold Pikeâ??s leading scorer, Jeff Teague, scoreless for the
contest, but to no avail as Teagueâ??s teammates picked up the slack. Pike (17-3)
had five scorers in double figures, led by Cheathamâ??s 14 points.

For Warren
Central (15-6), Thomas had 18 points while Kendall Harvey added 13.

Both teams
now enter sectional play. Pike will take on Indianapolis Northwest in the first
round of Sectional 12 at Brownsburg, while Warren Central will face
Indianapolis Cathedral in Sectional 10 at Indianapolis Tech.

Semistate: Class A South Central explodes in second half to defeat Attica, 54-43

Posted on 25 February 2006 by alexanderscot.


By Bubba Harnist
Staff Writer

INDIANAPOLIS â??? South Central (Elizabeth) coach Randall Schoen was
quick to the point after his teamâ??s 54-43 win over fifth-ranked Attica Feb. 25
in Class A semistate action at Southport.

â??Last year
(losing to Northeast Dubois in the regional semifinal) we let one slip away,
and we werenâ??t going to let that happen again this year,â? Schoen said. â??I do
think that how close we got last year really set the tone for us this year.�

The win
advances No. 15 South Central to the state finals March 4 at Conseco Fieldhouse,
where the Rebels will do battle with No. 13 Lafayette Central Catholic.

Things
didnâ??t start off so well for the Rebels as they committed turnovers on their
first two possessions and finished with eight in the first quarter. Amazingly, though,
South Central led after the first quarter, 15-12.

Schoen
pondered the slow start, saying it was good and bad.
â??It was
good in that it didnâ??t put us in a hole,â? he said. â??But it was bad in that itâ??s
not good to start like we did.�

Attica sophomore Brittany Rayburn dominated the opening period with
10 of her teamâ??s 12 points. Meanwhile, South Central sophomore Brittany Schoen
scored 11 of her teamâ??s 15 points, including a jumper with 25 seconds to go and
a 3-pointer with 5 seconds left.

The 5-0
South Central run that ended the quarter extended to 7-0 in the second when
junior Karen Deaton hit a jumper, giving South Central a 17-12 lead. Attica battled back, though, tying the game at 17 after a
free throw from Rayburn with 5:34 before the half.

At that
point, Rayburn had 15 of her teamâ??s 17 points.

Attica continued the momentum, gaining a 24-19 lead after an
offensive rebound and bucket from senior Suzanne Shirley. From there, South
Central tried to get even the rest of the quarter by turning the defense up a
notch. Forcing turnovers on Atticaâ??s final
three possessions of the half, South Central was able to tie the game at 25
heading into the locker room.

The third
quarter was the difference in the game. South Central came out hot while holding
Attica at bay, and a 10-2 run to start the
half gave the Rebels a 35-27 lead. Atticaâ??s only points in the run came on a basket
by Rayburn with 6:22 left as Attica went another
3:25 without scoring.

Though Attica cut the margin down to four at 35-31 with 2:30
left in the third, South Central pushed it to back to seven, 38-31, at the end
of the quarter after a bucket from senior Jenna Kingsley and a free throw from
Sarah Yelch.

Schoen hit
a 3-pointer 41 seconds in to the fourth, sending the South Central fans into a
frenzy and giving her team an 11-point lead at 42-31. But Attica
refused to go away, battling back with each possession until the Red Ramblers
got it to four points once more at 47-43 with 1:49 remaining following two free
throws from Rayburn.

Those
would be Atticaâ??s last points.

South
Central deposited the biggest basket of the game when junior Kaela Orwick got
behind the Attica press and was left wide open
downcourt for a layup, giving the Rebels a 49-43 lead. After a huge Attica turnover on the ensuing possession, Schoen hit two
free throws with only 1:23 left. South Central would hit three more free throws,
and the game was over.

With the
loss, Attica finishes the season 23-3. Rayburn
led all scorers with 28 points, a feat not lost on coach Schoen.

â??She is a
great player — you canâ??t really stop her,â? he said. â??We tried to throw two
people at her and maybe neutralize her a little.

â??We wanted
to shut down DeeAnn (Rayburn) and hope that Brittany doesnâ??t go off.â?

The
strategery worked, for the most part. Only three other Red Ramblers scored: sophomore
Kylie Troike (seven), senior Suzanne Shirley (five), and senior Rayburn (three).
South Central,
on the other hand, put eight players in the scoring column, led by Schoenâ??s 25
points.

â??I thought
they did real well,â? coach Schoen said of his bench. â??We had contributions all
the way down.�

South
Central improves to 23-5 and will make the trip back to Central Indiana next
week to Conseco and the huge tilt with Lafayette Central Catholic for the Class
A state championship. Thatâ??s next week, though.

For now, coach
Schoen wants to soak up this semistate title as much as possible.

â??We are
going to celebrate today and tomorrow,â? he said. â??We will worry about the state
championship game on Monday.�
