Wahoo will face Ogallala in the opening round of the 2024 Class C1 State Tournament.  The two schools have a history as they have squared off in Lincoln four times, with one of those contests being what the “Keith County News” called “the most significantly noteworthy high school boys basketball game ever played in Nebraska.”  It was March 12, 1992 when Wahoo had won 114 consecutive games and faced Ogallala in the semi-finals of the Class B State Tournament.  The Indians stunned the Wahoo fans with an 84 – 68 win over the Warriors.  It was a great accomplishment for Ogallala, but it still didn’t produce a state championship – the Indians lost to Lincoln Pius X the next night and finished as the runner-up.  Wahoo went on from that upset loss to claim six more state titles. Ogallala is still looking for is first state title – the Indians finished 3rd last year.

Wahoo’s first step towards a repeat championship at the State Tournament was an easy win as the Warriors outdistanced Ogallala, 76 - 40. Wahoo dominated on the inside with Jason Glock (24) and Randy Hoffman (13) providing the one - two punch. Coach Anderson emptied his bench half way through the fourth quarter and the reserves actually increased the Wahoo lead. Ogallala coach, Mark Etzelmiller pointed out that “Wahoo’s been down here. They came in here, especially against an 11 - 9 team, they came in here relaxed.”

It ended. And the outcome was never in doubt as Ogallala defeated Wahoo 84 - 68 in the semifinals of the Nebraska Class B Boys State Basketball Tournament. The Indians built a 23 - 8 lead in the first quarter, passing over and through the Wahoo press to score easy baskets. By halftime, Ogallala led 42 - 26 and they had forced the Warriors to abandon the press and go to a man to man defense. Wahoo did make a run in the fourth quarter, closing to within 9 with three and a half minutes to go in the game. But Ogallala answered with an eight point run of its own. Coach Anderson reflected on the loss, “Ogallala deserved to win. The better team won tonight.”

The Wahoo Warriors were defeated by the Ogallala Indians 74-63 in the Consolation game of the Class C-1 State Tournament on Saturday morning at Lincoln Southeast High School.

The game was tied at 19 after one quarter.  The Indians were able to break the game open, when they went on a 13-0 run to open the second quarter, to take a 32-19 lead.  Ogallala went to the halftime break up 45-32.

The Warriors would keep battling and would keep the game close.  Ogallala still led by 14 after three at 57-43.  In the fourth quarter, two baskets a piece from Gerardo Madrid and Trey Scheef, cut the lead to five at 57-52, but Wahoo would get no closer, and Ogallala would close out the 74-63 win.

“I was really proud of our kids.  Without having Winston and Blake for the game, I felt like our kids really competed hard, and gave it everything they had.  Karson Hesser and Thomas Waido had big games for us.  I could not have asked for any more effort and heart from them.” Said Coach Kevin Scheef.

Karson Hesser led the Warriors with a careeh high 18 points and 5 boards.  Trey Scheef added 12 points.  Gerardo Madrid scored 11 points, and Thomas Waido had 10 points, 12 boards, and 6 assists.

The Warriors finished their season 24-5, while Ogallala finished 28-1.
