The Wahoo Warriors defeated the Bennington Badgers 76-59 in the season opener at home on Thursday night.

The game was close throughout the first quarter and the Warriors led 18-14 after one.

The game was still close midway through the second quarter.  Wahoo was up 25-23, when they went on a 9-0 run.  A three point play from Trey Scheef, a Gerardo Madrid layup followed by back to back buckets from Thomas Waido pushed the lead to 34-23.  The half ended with Wahoo up 36-26.

An 8-0 run to open the third quarter busted the game open. A Trevor Kasischke lay up, a Trey Scheef trey, and a Braden Harris trey, made it 44-26.  A Trey Scheef trey at the end of the third quarter gave Wahoo it’s largest lead at 61-39.  The Badgers would not mount a serious threat in the fourth quarter, and Wahoo went on to the 76-59 win.

“That was a great way to start the season.  Bennington always has a tough team, and with the limited practice time due to State football,  I thought we played really well.  We played hard, and competed throughout.  Our decision making has to get better, but overall it was a good first game.” Said Coach Kevin Scheef.

Trey Scheef led the Warriors with 27 points on 10-19 shooting from the floor.  Thomas Waido added 18 on 6-10 from the floor, and 6-7 from the line, to go with 8 boards.  Braden Harris added 10 points.  Trevor Kasischke added 8 points.  Triston Keeney was a stat stuffer with 6 points, 10 boards, 5 steals and 5 assists.

The Warriors outrebounded the Badgers 36-25, and forced 25 Bennington turnovers.

The Warriors travel to Aurora on Friday night to take on the Huskies.
