WARSAW COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL VS MISHAWAKA HIGH SCHOOL 54 56 Team 1 2 3 4 OT1 Warsaw Community High School 7 16 14 13 4 Mishawaka High School 9 15 15 11 6 Mishawaka opened Thursday night’s game against an Indiana blue blood in the Warsaw Tigers. This game had all the makings of an instant classic! The Cavemen would go in at the intermission up 24-23. In the second half it was like a heavyweight fight with each team answering shot for shot. The game would come down to the final seconds as Rasauun Johnson would go to the line, with the score tied at 50, and .3 to go with 2 shots. Both free throws were no good and we would have overtime. In overtime the Cavemen and Tigers would go to about the last 50 seconds tied at 54 a piece. Mishawaka would call timeout with 18 seconds to go and draw up a skip play that would end up being dumped off, by Jackson Snyder to Cooper Pritchett for a point blank lay-up with virtually no time left to seal the deal in a thriller for the Cavemen! Mishawaka was led by Brady Fisher who had 21 points and Cooper Pritchett an Rasauun Johnson both with 11. The Cavemen are back in action Saturday afternoon against South Bend Washington.
