Golfers Keep Rolling

Another Northern Lakes Conference foe, another step closer to a goal. Thursday evening at Maplecrest Country Club, the Wawasee girls golf team did what it needed to do, shooting a 181 to cruise past Goshen’s 229.

The Lady Warriors, now 5-0 in the NLC and 14-0 overall, used a 42 from Mikala Mawhorter, 45 from Elizabeth Jackson, 46 from Kylee Rostochak and 48 from Aubrey Schmeltz to compose its winning tally. Gale Immel led Goshen (2-5, 2-3 NLC) with a 51, but the Redskins didn’t have another score better than a 58, both accrued by Claire Palczynski and Nicole Miller. Sara Rodgers gave Goshen its fourth score at 62.

The win moves Wawasee one step away from claiming an NLC regular season title, but currently unbeaten NorthWood (5-0 NLC) stands in the way. The triangular next Wednesday at Meadow Valley Golf Course, which also includes host Northridge, will decide the conference crown.

Concord Steady In Tennis Win

Concord steadied the course Thursday on its home court, defeating Wawasee, 4-1, in NLC boys tennis action.

The duo of Will Boyer and Mitch Boyer reigned supreme in singles play, losing just three games in beating Cal Heinisch and Nathan Perek, respectively, at one and two singles. Will won 6-1, 6-0 and Mitch triumphed 6-1, 6-1.

The team of Aaron Allen and Riley Huffer received a big test from Jake Hutchinson and Todd Hauser at one doubles, but came through with a 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 win. Nathan Herman and Braden Fish had an easier time in two doubles play, dropping Derek Stutzman and Cameron Brill 6-4, 6-0.

Wawasee’s lone court win came from Nate Haines on the three singles court, besting Spencer Jaeniohon 7-5, 6-1.

Tim Conley had Wawasee’s lone JV win against the Minutemen, taking care of Jake Lavette 9-8 in a singles pro set. Concord won the remaining five courts.

Wawasee (3-4, 0-2 NLC) will host the Wawasee Varsity Duals Saturday morning.

Argos Hammers Wawasee

Argos started off hot and just continued to get stronger, scoring four goals in the first half in an eventual 7-0 final score at Wawasee Thursday night in girls soccer.

Argos ran its winning streak against Wawasee to six with a consistent attack the Lady Warriors could not absorb.

Goal scorers for Argos were not immediately reported.

Wawasee (1-5, 0-1 NLC) will visit Goshen Saturday.

Freshmen Get The Job Done

Wawasee had four different players find the end zone Thursday in a 24-16 freshman football win against visiting West Noble.

Kevin Weikart had a touchdown run, Will Geer added a rushing and passing touchdown and both Jacob Moore and Jacob Hand each hauled in receiving touchdowns.

Alic Rosbrugh was a beast on defense, recovering three West Noble fumbles.

Wawasee (2-0) will host Northridge next Thursday.
