Delphi records win over Seeger.

From staff reports Pharos-Tribune Wed Nov 18, 2009, 01:01 AM EST

Winamac’s girls basketball team was defeated by possible sectional opponent Culver 51-44 Tuesday night at home.

The Class 2A No. 7 Warriors fell to 2-1 on the season, while the Cavaliers improved to 2-0.

“I think the key to the game was that because of their height, we were forced to have to shoot from the outside,” Winamac coach Jim Swaney said, “and we shot 3 of 18 from 3-point land. We were going to have to hit some shots from the perimeter to have a chance, and we just didn’t hit enough of them.”

The Cavaliers were led by 6-foot forward Gwen Zehner’s 22 points and 6-3 forward Patrice McBee’s 16 points.

“If Culver keeps improving, they would be a force in the tournament because of their size,” Swaney said. “It’s very difficult to get the ball inside when there’s a 6-3 player and a 6-footer in there.”

If the two teams happen to meet again, Swaney said, “We’re gonna have to hit shots from the outside. We’re not gonna get a lot inside because we just don’t have that much size.”

Allie DeFries led the Warriors with 15 points. Jordan Brandt and Sarah Redweik scored 11 apiece. Redweik pulled down a team-high 10 rebounds and Whitney Schmicker added nine.

“I was proud of the kids coming back. We were down six, eight points, and got back within two on a couple occasions and had shots, they just didn’t go in,” Swaney said. “Then down the stretch we had to foul.”

Winamac travels to Rensselaer on Saturday night for a 6:30 p.m. JV tip-off and an 8 o’clock varsity tip-off. The game was moved from Friday to Saturday because Rensselaer’s football team is playing a semistate game.

Delphi 48, Seeger 40

Jordayn Jargstorf had 16 points and nine rebounds to lead the Delphi over visiting Seeger.

Brittany Rhodes added a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds for the Oracles (1-1).

Brianna Hensley led the Patriots (1-2) with 16 points, and Kelsey Swisher had 13.

W. Central 43, LaCrosse 21

The Trojans moved to 2-0 with a win at LaCrosse.

Riley Cervenka led the way with 16 points and 13 rebounds. Rylie Pfledderer added eight points.
