Warhawks split TIC East Title

Thursday 2/9/23

Thursday night, West Fork welcomed Forest City into Sheffield.  Prior to the game the Warhawk coaches knew this would be a tough one in respect to how good of a coach Rosacker is for the Indians.  Forest City came out in a Triangle and two where they were face guarding Sage Suntken and Cayde Eberling, daring the other players to beat them.  Through the first half of play the Warhawks struggled offensively while playing a solid defensive game to keep it close at half, 19-26.  The second half Warhawks started to pick apart the Indian defense and was able to tie it up after 4 quarters, 48 a piece and Warhawks top scorer Goulding out late.  With a packed gym, loud and excited, the first overtime was back and forth ending with each team putting up 6 more points, 54-54.  The second overtime Forest City jumped out to a quick 5 point lead only to see the Warhawks buckle down and battle back for a win, 65-63. The Warhawks were led by Edison Maske with 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists. Cayde Eberling posted a double-double 13 points, 12 rebounds; Gavin Cronk had 11 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists; Josiah Chibambo 10 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists; Sage Suntken 8 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists.

After falling Monday night in Osage, the Warhawks split the TIC East champion title 3 ways with Newman and Osage. The Warhawks move to 16-4 overall and 14-2 in conference play.
