vs. Lincoln Christian

Lincoln Christian (@Neumann--1st Round Holiday Tournament)--December 28, 2007

Wahoo    51
Lincoln Christian    66
The Wahoo Warriors were defeated by the Lincoln Christian Crusaders 66-51 in the opening round of the Holiday Tournament.
Christian led 13-11 after one quarter of play. Back-to-back treys from Austin Watton gave the Warriors their final lead of the game at 17-16 early in the second quarter. Watton scored 15 of the Warriors’ first 17 points. Christian would lead 28-24 at the break.
Wahoo trailed by just two at 33-31 midway through the third quarter, after another Watton basket. Christian then broke the game open. A trey from Jacob Gipson, four consecutive free throws, and another trey from Gipson put Christian up 43-33. The Warriors would come no closer than eight points the rest of the way.
"Christian has a very nice team. They are long and athletic. They really pass the ball well. We did not defend the paint like we needed to. They shot way too many lay ups. We also have to take care of the ball better. Their pressure gave us a lot of problems, but you will not beat many teams turning it over 24 times," said Head Coach Kevin Scheef.
The Warriors turned the ball over 24 times, and were out-rebounded 32-22. The Crusaders shot 50 percent from the floor. The Warriors shot 36 percent from the floor.
"Austin Watton really had a great game for us. It was good to see him play very aggressively," added Scheef.
Watton scored a career high 21 points on 8-12 shooting from the floor, including 3-5 from behind the arc. David Stuchlik added 13 points, and Taylor Murren added 10 points. Watton also added 6 boards and 5 assists.
The Warriors dropped to 4-2 and will face East Butler in the consolation game, while Christian improved to 4-1 and will play Bishop Neumann in the Tournament Finals.
