12/28/10 First Round of HolidayTournament At Wahoo

Wahoo 40
Elkhorn South 61

The Wahoo Warriors were defeated by the Elkhorn South Storm 61-40 in the first round of the Holiday Tournament. The Storm jumped out to an 11-2 lead as they forced turnovers on the Warriors first 3 possessions. South led 15-8 after one quarter behind 9 first quarter points from Brennan Nowak.

In the second quarter, South led 29-17 with two minutes to go. Greg Milliken hit back to back treys to cut South?s lead to 29-23 at halftime. The Storm extended the lead in the third quarter to 49-33 at the end of 3. Wahoo scored the first 4 points of the fourth quarter on a putback from Cole Barry and a Max Cook lay up, but the Storm would go on a 10-0 run to ice the game and win 61-40.

Coach Scheef: "Give Elkhorn South a lot of credit. They are long and athletic. They moved the ball very well and picked apart our 1-3-1. They have a couple of terrific shooters in Keithen Karn and Brennan Nowak, and their 6?5 kid inside caused us some problems with his defense and shot blocking. We shot 27% from the field and got out rebounded by 9 and you are not going to win games with those stats."

Greg Milliken led the Warriors with 21 points on 4-6 shooting from behind the arc and 4 steals. Max Cook had a team high 6 boards and 8 points. Brennan Nowak had 20 points to lead South and Keithan Karn added 19.

South improves to 4-3 and will face Lincoln Christian in the finals of the Holiday Tournament. Wahoo drops to 5-2 and will face Bishop Neumann in the consolation game.
