A Brett Shaw basket made it 47-41 with 55 seconds left, but a Brook Stuart free throw and Max Cook lay up off of a feed from Casey Brown sealed the win for the Warriors.
Coach Scheef: “I thought we were pretty solid defensively. We are not shooting the ball yet, but hopefully that will come through better execution and better shot selection. We rebounded the ball better today and again shot free throws very well. We are pleased to be 2-0, but have a lot of areas to work on.”
Max Cook led Wahoo with 16 points, Ben Scheef had 13, and Jon Abbott had 12. Cook, Scheef, and Abbott also each had 8 rebounds. Wahoo improved to 2-0 and will travel to David City on Tuesday night. Seward fell to 1-1. |
