THE WARRIOR WEEKLY
FEBRUARY 21ST, 2017
50 YEARS OF WARRIOR BASKETBALL
On this past Friday evening, 50 years of Warrior basketball was celebrated inside Richard E. Johnson gymnasium as the 1966-1967 Wes-Del basketball team was honored at halftime. The first Warrior team was honored in front of one of our best crowds of the season, and how fitting that the 66-67 Warriors finished the season 15-5, and our current Warriors were 15-5 as of Friday evening. Many of the players, managers, and cheerleaders attended a reception early in the evening in the high school library, where many memories took center stage in various conversations. There was talk of the first basket scored, the first rebound, and the even the first foul. As the first Warrior basketball players told their stories, you could see their youth returning in their eyes. It was an emotional evening, including a pre-game speech by our current coach, John McGlothin, and the first Warrior coach, Leonard Burns. Before the 16-17 Warriors took the floor, they huddled with the 66-67 Warriors to bring 50 years of Warrior basketball together for one breakdown. After the huddle broke, you could see the tears in the eyes of those first Warriors, and when the game ended with the current Warriors dominating the Blue RIver Vikings, you could see nothing but "Warrior Pride" in everyones eyes.
