Scottsburg had been on a recent skid, starting the season out 5-1, and since then going 3-5. Despite their recent struggles as a team, and search to find an identity, they looked to pick up a non-conference win at Southwestern on February 6, to boost the morale.
Scottsburg was the clear favorite to win the game, but the Rebels used their home floor advantage to the best of their ability, managing to keep the game close throughout. The Warriors would never pull out to a hefty lead, as never did deliver the knockout punch.
The team managed to hang on though as they would win the game 54-48, barely getting over the 50 point mark that has been a tough task several times.
The Warriors were led in scoring by Matt Bridgewater, who had 15, and freshman Max Clemons with 12, who has stepped up his game since the Warrior loss to New Albany, where he had 15. Mason Gregory also had 12.
Mabry would lead Southwestern with 13, and Ames would follow with 12.

The Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) will use the information to help quantify losses from severe weather that resulted in ice, snow and flooding to determine if federal assistance should be requested.

? The Scottsburg High School wrestling team traveled to Bloomington South High School with five grapplers for this year’s IHSAA Regionals.
They came home with three of those wrestlers making the jump to the Semi-State to be held at Roberts Stadium in Evansville. The three wrestlers set a new school record in one season.
Qualifying for the next step in the State Tourney will be juniors Tanner Howard, second at 152, and Nick Henderson, third at 189 pounds, and senior Chris Chasteen, fourth at 171 pounds.
Howard opened the day with a win by a pin over Joyal of Terre Haute South in 1:49 and then knocked off Prieboy of Bloomington South 7-1 before losing to undefeated Fudurich of Sullivan 2-6 in the finals.
Head Coach Tyson Skinner stated, “Howard wrestled well all day. In the finals, he ran into a tough grappler in the Sullivan boy. He has a tough road ahead, but he is a very talented wrestler.”
Henderson opened the day with an overtime win over Heston of Edgewood 7-5, and then lost to Brownfield of Columbus North 5-10. He finished by defeating Kopitzke of Jennings Co. 12-1 for third place. “Henderson started off slow in his match with Edgewood, but by the end of the day was wrestling better than he has all year,” said his coach.
Chasteen opened the day with a win by fall over Edington of Terre Haute North in 1:48, then lost to Watson of Columbus North 2-10. He lost by fall to Biggs of Jennings County in 4:33 for fourth. “Chasteen has a big challenge ahead of him. Placing fourth means he will wrestle a champ from another regional in the first round,” related the coach.
Junior Sebastian Rodgers and senior Will Stone both lost in their opening round matches. Rodgers lost a heartbreaker to eventual runner-up Terrell of Bloomington South 4-5 in the 4th overtime. Stone lost by fall to eventual champ Vandenveter of Bloomington North. “Rodgers’ match was a tough one. He was continually attacking throughout the match only to get called for stalling in the last OT and being penalized one point and that was the matc,.” Skinner said. “Stone has been battling the injury bug all year and put up a good fight early only to get caught.”

? The Scott County Soccer Club is accepting registrations until February 15 for the spring season.
The club is actively seeking players who are interested in playing in an organized, competitive league. The Scott County Soccer Club is for boys and girls ages six through 18 who would like to increase their playing ability on a competitive traveling team. The club is open to any student from any school and is non-school affiliated.
Registration forms are available on the club website at www.sc2soccer.org. Checks and registration forms can be mailed to the club registrar. Cost for registration is $50.
New players must turn in an official copy of their birth certificates to register with the state association.
Co-ed teams are divided into five age groups: U8, U10, U12, U15 and U19. If enough girls register, a separate girls’ team will be formed at the U15 level.
Due to IHSAA guidelines, only six teammates from a high school team may be on a U19 team, so the club is looking for players from area schools to round out the team. Teams are open to all kids regardless of school affiliation. Birth dates will be used to determine team placement. Players must have turned six by July 31, 2008, and cannot have turned 19 before July 31, 2008, to be eligible to play.
The Scott County Soccer Club is a member of the Indiana Youth Soccer Association and is in its ninth season of play. Coaches are trained by the state organization and have several years of experience coaching youth soccer. Organized practices focus on age appropriate soccer skill training with emphasis on improving the players’ understanding of the game.
Practices will begin in March. Games will be played on weekends April through May. Traveling is involved in this club. Players are expected to attend two practices during the week and one or two games are played on the weekend. Each team plays eight to ten games during the season.

? The Scottsburg Wrestling Team traveled to Jennings County for the IHSAA Sectionals and came away with 5 qualifiers (the most in school history) and placed 5th overall for their highest team finish since the sectionals were realigned. Head Coach Tyson Skinner noted, “I was pleased with our team finish. We placed third one year, but with the realignment several years ago our sectional is vastly improved and we are gaining ground on the top dogs in this sectional now.”
Leading the way for the Warriors were Junior 152-pounder Tanner Howard as he dominated the 152-pounds division to claim his first sectional crown. Howard opened the day with a technical fall victory over Baughn of Bedford North Lawrence, then pinned Owen of Seymour to advance to the finals. “Howard wrestled extremely well today. He is recovering nicely from a mid season injury and is almost back to top form.”
Capturing third for the warriors were Juniors Sebastian Rodgers at 160-pounds, and Nick Henderson at 189-pounds and Senior Chris Chasteen at 171-pounds. Both Chasteen and Henderson dropped semi-final matches to the eventual champion in their weight class, while Rodgers had a more controversial semi-final match. In the first period Rodgers was accessed a 1 point penalty that ended up deciding the match as he lost 5-6 to Brierly of Columbus East. “Sebastians match could of very easily went the other way. He was struck across the face and made a comment to the official about it and was accessed the penalty. You never talk to the officials while on the mat but it was a very obvious call the other way in my opinion that was missed to put it kindly.” Skinner Continued, “ Nick and Chris both lost to talented wrestlers and wrestled well throughout the day.”
Senior Will Stone returning from a season long injury battled to capture 4th at 215lbs. “He has had a very tough year with his injury and his Dr. wasn’t sure he could go but he gutted it out and wrestled well most of the day.”
Other placers for the Warriors were; Gage Kelly 5th at 103-pounds Stephen Gary 6th at 112-pounds, Coty Fink 5th at 125-pounds, Kris Sandlin 5th at 140 pounds, and Will Napier 5th at HWT. |
