The Tigers open their Indiana Crossroads Conference schedule Friday when Cascade (2-2, 1-1 ICC) visits Fairland.

Five straight three-pointers over a three-minute stretch in the third quarter Friday night were enough for Waldron to pull away from Morristown for a 53-40 win.

Trailing 24-22 early in the third quarter, Waldron went on a 17-0 run that included three 3s from Bryce Yarling and trifectas from Lucas Shaw and Caden Sheaffer that put the Yellow Jackets down 39-24.

Morristown (0-4, 0-3 Mid-Hoosier Conference) failed to get the lead back under double digits from there and lost to Waldron for the first time since Dec. 9, 2016.

Yarling hit five 3s on the way to a game-high 30 points for Waldron (3-2, 1-1 MHC). The junior guard also had eight rebounds and three assists.

Lucas Mitchell finished with 12 points and four rebounds. Sheaffer had four points, five rebounds and two steals.

"We started hitting shots and I think we worked a little harder to get decent looks," said Waldron coach Beau Scott of the third-quarter run. "In the first half, we were impatient and not really working the ball. It was good to see the confidence from those guys."

Morristown raced out to a 10-3 lead on 3s from Nolan Laster and Mathew Carlton and baskets from Carson Conrad and Cade Mahin.

Waldron struggled to find its offensive rhythm and trailed 16-12 at the end of the quarter.

Both teams had a hard time scoring in the second quarter. Yarling had all eight of Waldron's points.

Morristown's Nick Stidham scored in the lane just ahead of the halftime buzzer to tie the game at 20-all.

The Yellow Jackets opened up a 24-22 lead before Shaw scored off a Mitchell assist that started the 17-0 run.

Yarling followed with a 3 from the wing. Shaw splashed another 3 from the corner. Sheaffer nailed one from the top of the key and Yarling hit back-to-back corner 3s.

"It comes back to some of the stuff we are struggling with like turnovers," said Morristown coach Collin McCartt. "And they got loose … our guys have a little bit of trouble still, and we are young, letting things snowball a little bit."

Mitchell and Yarling each scored six points in the final quarter to keep Morristown at bay.

Laster finished with 19 points and three steals to lead Morristown.

The Yellow Jackets shot 30% from the field and committed 19 turnovers.

"Right now with the turnovers, so many are unforced," said McCartt. "So many are we are just throwing the ball away. The good news is that is correctable. We have to stop giving away possessions."

Only four Mohawks scored in the win but with Yarling and Mitchell that is not a huge problem. For Waldron to have sustained success, though, the roster has to produce points to compliment the high-scoring duo.

"It's just trying to make easy decisions," explained Scott. "That is probably the phrase I say the most, just make easy plays, make a read and have your head up. I trust everybody out there to do a lot of different things. We are pretty interchangeable."

Morristown has a rescheduled game Monday against Oldenburg Academy (1-2).

Waldron is at Southwestern (2-2) on Dec. 18.

In its first defense of the Victory Bell in many years, Class A, No. 1 Waldron got stuck in first gear Friday against a shorthanded Morristown squad.

The Mohawks found their higher gear in the middle quarters, outscoring the Yellow Jackets  38-9 to cruise to a 62-30 victory.

Waldron not only retained the Victory Bell, the traveling trophy amongst the four county high schools, it retained the series' traveling trophy for the fourth straight year (photo), and also set a program record for consecutive victories to start the season (10) and most consecutive victories in a season.

"I thought we moved the ball better tonight than we have in awhile," said Waldron coach Anthony Thomas. "We started out real slow. We are trying some different things defensively that you can do in practice but it's different live in a game and I thought we executed pretty well."

Ten different Mohawks scored against a Morristown squad that hadn't played a game since Nov. 24 and was without three varsity players – two seniors and a junior in Gracie Laster, Delaney Cornn and Emma Spahr.

Waldron, now 10-0 (3-0 Mid-Hoosier Conference) to retain the top ranking in Class A for a second consecutive week, shot 44% from the field in the opening quarter but missed several shots from within the lane.

Megan Bogemann hit a pair of three-pointers and Hadlie Ross scored off an offensive rebound to close out the first quarter with a 16-11 advantage.

Waldron put together scoring runs of 7-0, 8-0, 7-0 and 12-0 in the middle two quarters to pull away.

Nichole Garner finished with a game-high 15 points for Waldron and also had three assists and three steals. Bogemann added 11 points and Bella Larrison had 10 points.

Mackenzie Shaw and Hallie Ross each had five rebounds.

Freshmen Danika Rutledge and Nevaeh Sanders led the way for Morristown. Rutledge finished with 10 points and eight rebounds. Sanders had a team-high 12 points and four rebounds.

The Yellow Jackets (5-5, 0-2 MHC) managed just 26 shot attempts and committed 32 turnovers.

"We just didn't get enough shots," said Morristown coach Rachel Kleine. "We liked the way we finished. We are missing some ball handlers with varsity experience that would have made a difference. And to see that kind of pressure (from Waldron), we have to take care of the basketball or good teams will make you pay.

"Credit to Waldron, that is a good team. We don't see that type of competition in our everyday practices. That was a good experience for some of our younger players."

Morristown returns home tonight to face another top-ranked team in Jac-Cen-Del (8-1), the No. 3 team in Class A.

Entering the weekend, Waldron was one of a dozen girls basketball teams across the state without a loss. That list has dropped to 10.

"I am a little surprised (at being 10-0). Our schedule by all intensive purposes has been pretty brutal," said Thomas. "When you get in that stretch where you play (Triton Central) and Jac-Cen-Del in five days, but on the other hand I am not (surprised). We are getting back to the way we were playing this summer and these kids are pretty resilient. They absorb a lot of stuff.

"Did I think we'd be 10-0 right now? No. But I am not at all shocked. It has not been an easy road."

The target Waldron is carrying around will only grow larger as long as it remains unbeaten and the schedule does not lighten any through the holiday season.

The Mohawks are at Class 2A, No. 14 North Decatur (10-3) on Friday. The Chargers' three losses have come to teams with a combined 24-7 record.

Following a home game with Knightstown (1-10) on Dec. 18, Waldron hosts Batesville (2-8) in the semifinal game of its holiday tournament. The other semifinal features Union County (4-2) and Blackford (5-2).

A rematch with Class 2A, No. 2 Triton Central (8-1) in the Shelby County Tournament is possible and the Mohawks travel to Class 2A, No. 8 Eastern Hancock (9-1) on Jan. 15 in what could be the toughest test left to completing an undefeated season.

"It's never happened for girls basketball here," said Thomas of being ranked No. 1 in the state. "It's something they can tell their kids someday. I'm very proud of them. They haven't backed their way into it. These kids have earned everything they have gotten to this point.

"Every night (now), they are the hunted. I think they have embraced that like we did tonight. It doesn't faze them. They are pretty even keeled, almost to the point it's a detriment sometimes. It's OK to show some emotion. You have to enjoy this. This isn't normal. There are a lot of teams that would trade positions with you. I don't know if we are the No. 1 team or not, but I know if we can stay healthy and keep improving, we are pretty good."

Shelbyville played from behind in both the girls and boys basketball games as New Castle swept a Hoosier Heritage Conference doubleheader at Garrett Gym Friday.

New Castle's girls varsity jumped out to a 20-6 first quarter lead and extended it to 27-11 before Shelbyville rallied.  The Lady Golden Bears scored the final eight points of the second period to trail at halftime, 27-19.

Shelbyville closed to within one possession several times and trailed by just three, 45-42, at the end of the third period.  New Castle was able to hold off the Bears with 7-of-8 free throw shooting in the final period for the conference win, 58-53.

5'2" sophomore guard Emma Hart topped all scorers with 20 points. Mandy Meek scored 18 for New Castle (6-6, 3-1 HHC).

Abby Brenner scored 11 of her team-high 15 points in the second half for Shelbyville (6-5, 1-2 HHC).

In the boys nightcap, Shelbyville also played from behind the entire game in dropping a 77-64 decision in the Hoosier Heritage Conference opener.

New Castle senior center Dawson Scott was too powerful for the Golden Bears.  The 6'5" Scott scored 15 of his team-high 19 points in the first half as the Trojans built a double digit lead going into the locker room.  The Trojans' Gavin Welch rattled in a three-point field goal at the buzzer to provide the halftime margin.

Welch was one of four Trojans in double figures with 18 points.  Sam Maddy contributed 15 off the bench.  Caleb Grow added 10 for New Castle (4-1, 1-0 HHC).

The 77 points was New Castle's highest scoring output of the season.

Triton Central suffered its first loss of the season Wednesday at Greenfield-Central, 57-29.

Waldron solidified its grip as the No. 1 girls basketball team in Class A with a 51-48 win Tuesday night over Class A, No. 3 Jac-Cen-Del.

In a Sectional 60 preview, Waldron proved tougher in the clutch to improve to 9-0 this season – the best start in program history.

"Waldron is the real deal. They are No. 1 and they should be No. 1," said Jac-Cen-Del coach Scott Smith, who entered the game with 374 career wins in 21 seasons.

Nichole Garner hit 5 of 6 free throws in the final quarter and finished with a team-high 12 points in another balanced scoring effort by the Mohawks, who now have wins over a pair of top-three ranked teams in the state in the last five days. Waldron defeated then No. 1 in 2A Triton Central Friday, 46-39.

Bella Larrison had 11 points and four rebounds Tuesday night. Mackenzie Shaw added 10 points and five rebounds.

Josee Larrison scored eight points and grabbed eight rebounds and Hadlie Ross finished with seven points.

"We made enough plays in the end but we didn't do a very good job overall," said Waldron coach Anthony Thomas. "We were fortunate enough to beat them tonight but we also learned a lot."

Annabelle Williams led Jac-Cen-Del with 12 points, six rebounds and six assists.

Aundrea Cullen finished with nine points. Desiree Sparks added seven points and eight rebounds and Jalee Rider had seven points.

The visiting Eagles (8-1) took an early 7-4 lead but a Josee Larrison offensive rebound and score left the game tied at 9-all at the end of the first quarter.

The Mohawks continued to struggle from beyond the 3-point line in the second quarter and committed seven turnovers but still managed to take the lead four times.

Three different Jac-Cen-Del players made 3s in the second quarter and the Eagles took a 26-23 lead to halftime.

A 5-0 run early in the third quarter extended Jac-Cen-Del's lead to 31-25 – the biggest lead of the game for either team.

Waldron answered back with a 6-0 run that tied the game with 4:24 left in the third quarter.

After missing her first four 3-point attempts, Megan Bogemann finally connected from the top of the key just over a minute later and the Mohawks led 34-33.

The Eagles regained the lead and held it until midway through the fourth quarter.

A 5-0 run, all from Garner, tied the game at 44s with 3:45 to go in regulation.

Reagan Hughes converted 1-of-2 free throw attempts to put the Eagles up 45-44 but Bella Larrison made two free throws at the 2:52 mark to give Waldron the lead for good.

Larrison added another free throw 90 seconds later and Shaw converted at the rim to give Waldron a 49-45 lead – its biggest of the game.

A costly turnover – Waldron's only one in the fourth quarter – ended with Cullen scoring to cut the lead to 49-48 with 26 seconds on the clock.

The Eagles tried to force another turnover but were left with fouling Garner, who hit both free throws to make it 51-48.

Cullen's last ditch 3-point shot to tie the game was deflected by Bogemann and fell short of the rim.

Waldron made 9 of 12 free throws in the fourth quarter, 13 of 16 in the second half and 15 of 19 in the game.

"I have been on the opposite side of those free throws so it's nice to hit some," said Thomas. "You can prepare and you can talk and do different things but to prepare for something and actually going out and doing it are two different things. It's a big learning experience for our kids."

Jac-Cen-Del, who entered halftime 5 of 9 from the arc, went 0 of 3 in the second half and converted just 4 of 13 free throws.

"I thought we had a great game plan," said Smith. "We didn't do a very good job of hitting free throws. When we got in the bonus and had the lead I thought if we could hit free throws we would have a chance."

Waldron won the junior varsity game, 44-40.

Alivia Fischer led the Mohawks with 15 points. Alyssa Benson and Audrey Hogg each had 10 points.

Sophia Sullivan led Jac-Cen-Del with 18 points.

Waldron returns to action Friday at home for a Mid-Hoosier Conference game against Morristown (5-4). The Yellow Jackets have not played since a 42-21 loss to Triton Central on Nov. 24.

From an outsider's perspective, a one-win football season does not seem encouraging.

Shelbyville head coach Brian Glesing understands a 1-6 season was not the goal. He also understands the Golden Bears' program is not a one-year fix.

"I don't think anybody is satisfied," said Glesing. "I think we are pleased with the progress that we've made in establishing a lot of the foundation and all of the things behind the scenes that go into a football program. We are trying to establish great habits for our kids, good work habits that we take with them into the next year and the next year and the following years."

Shelbyville was 7-3 in 2017 in Pat Parks' final season as head coach. A three-year run under his successor, Michael Clevenger, netted just one win.

With a history of rebuilding struggling programs, Glesing was hired. He immediately stripped the program down of any past notions and set a new standard.

"The expectations of behavior, attitude, effort and character have all been established," said Glesing. "They are all there. As far as disciplinary problems, we didn't have hardly any. The kids now understand what to expect in the football program. All of that stuff has been established.

"It took us awhile to get to that point. It took us a season to get there, but as far as how we practice, how we do offseason conditioning, how we do offseason stuff, how we do film study … there are a lot of things that our kids are starting to figure out. They understand what it takes now. I think that's a big deal. The foundation is laid. Now, we have to start building the framework."

Year two for Glesing will commence with QB1 in place. Sophomore Eli Chappelow played both junior varsity and varsity quarters this past season and led the JV squad to an unbeaten record.

In varsity games, Chappelow completed 22 of 38 pass attempts for 292 yards and two touchdowns.

"We had to alter it to get some kids some JV quarters and follow the rules," said Glesing. "Our best players were playing Friday nights and Monday nights. You can't sustain that. That's not how you do it. We did it for a purpose – to get our kids some success but you can't run a program like that year in and year out."

Cael Lux was Shelbyville's leading rusher as a junior. He carried the ball 107 times for 478 yards and four touchdowns.

The second- and third-leading rushers, Jordan Marcum and Axel Conover, also will be returning as will the two leading receivers in Jackson Parker and Alex Macharia.

"With our returning players now and our younger kids coming up, we have somebody to model. We didn't have anyone to model last year," said Glesing. "No offense to our seniors but they were rookies just as much as our freshmen and sophomores were. Everyone was a rookie.

"When you put in a play or a technique or something, you say, 'Let's watch a senior do it.' Well our seniors were learning along with our freshmen. Now our younger kids can model stuff the upperclassmen are doing."

Glesing is after numbers right now – more overall numbers in the program and greater numbers in terms of strength and conditioning.

"We're trying to get more kids to play. Football ain't easy," he said. "It's not all rainbows and unicorns all the time. Its hard work and drudgery, putting on the pads when its 100 degrees out. It's getting dirty, getting knocked down and getting back up. It's a lot of work. When you are building a program and the kids haven't done that, it's hard to get that turned. You have to find the ones that do it for you and they start getting those younger kids to follow them. Then it starts snowballing. We're just not there yet."

The program will focus on strength and conditioning this offseason then start installing the offensive system for rising freshmen in the spring.

"There will be a major emphasis on strength and conditioning and developing athletes," said Glesing. "We have to get faster, we have to get stronger, and we have to get bigger.

"In the spring, we will start with some of our younger kids with an offensive install. With our middle school kids we will have 4-5 sessions like a mini-camp then our high school guys will have team activities in April."

Glesing kept all the training in-house last summer because there was too much to change and install.

"I would like to do maybe one (7-on-7) or a scrimmage," said Glesing. "We are still at the point where the kids have to buy-in. I want to see it a little bit longer before we start doing some of that stuff. It might happen. I will know more in the spring."

Shelbyville has little flexibility when it comes to adjusting its schedule with seven of the nine regular season games coming against Hoosier Heritage Conference schools – two of which have won state titles in the last three seasons.

There will be a change to the 2022 schedule with Richmond dropping off. The Golden Bears defeated the Red Devils, 22-16, on Aug. 27 to end a two-plus season losing streak.

Shelbyville will open the season on Aug. 19, 2022, when Greensburg visits McKeand Stadium.

The Golden Bears will then face Rushville in week two. The programs have been consistent preseason scrimmage partners for several years but have not met in the regular season since Aug. 31, 2012.

"It becomes easier when you are winning because you see the results even though you are getting the same thing out of it," said Glesing. "It's a struggle. It's one of the hardest things to do. I've done it a few times, to build a football culture and build a football program in the mold that you want it with attitude, character and effort. Right now, our kids work hard. From April on, our kids worked just as hard as the other schools. Right now, we're just behind athletically. You can't lie about that but we're getting there."

Triton Central improved to 3-0 for the first time since the 2015 season with a 67-47 win over visiting Waldron Thursday.

Ten different Tigers scored in their third-consecutive win over a Shelby County opponent this season. With the victory, Triton Central kept possession of the Victory Bell – the county's traveling trophy.

Aiden Lindsey and Isaac Morgan each scored 17 points to lead TC. Caleb Miller finished with 13.

The Tigers opened up a 16-11 lead after one quarter and extended it to 30-19 at halftime. A 22-point third quarter sealed the fate for the Mohawks (2-1).

Bryce Yarling scored 16 of his game-high 22 points in the second half Thursday and Lucas Mitchell scored 12 but only four other Mohawks combined for 13 points in the loss.

Triton Central won the junior varsity game, 43-41.

Waldron trailed by seven going into the fourth quarter and did not allow a TC field goal but the Tigers hit 5 of 7 free throws to close out the win.

Cooper Baugh scored 13 points to lead Triton Central. Jace Stuckey had eight and Silas Blair finished with seven.

Parker Douglas scored 12 of his game-high 16 points in the second half for Waldron. Will Larrison had eight.

Triton Central will attempt to sweep all four county rivals Saturday when Southwestern (1-1) visits.

Waldron hosts Class A, No. 5 Edinburgh (2-0).
