Bennington (Home)--November 30, 2007
Wahoo    49
Bennington    75
The Wahoo Warriors were soundly defeated by the visiting Bennington Badgers in the season opener for both teams 75-49.
Bennington led 12-5 after the first quarter, and 32-17 at halftime.  Bennington extended the lead early in the third quarter, and the Warriors never threatened the rest of the way.
"Bennington has an excellent team. Our roles are reversed from a year ago.  We are a very inexperienced team, and they are the veteran team. They have great size and excellent athleticism. We could not stop them, and we could not get into any kind of offensive rhythm because of their tough defense," said Warrior Head Coach Kevin Scheef.
David Stuchlik led Wahoo with 16 points and 6 rebounds. Austin Watton added 13 points and 5 steals. Taylor Murren had 7 assists.
The Badgers connected on 9 of 22 treys. Senior point guard Tyler Byrd hit 6 treys and led Bennington with 21 points. Denver Klaus added 15 points. Bennington, which had 4 guys 6'5 or taller, out-rebounded the Warriors 33-22.
Wahoo travels to take on the Seward Bluejays on Saturday.
