Wawasee Sports Wrap: Nov. 28

The hot shooting of Tori Miller, along with a consistent approach from West Noble, helped the Chargers to a 52-37 win over Wawasee Tuesday night in Ligonier.
Miller drilled a trio of threes in the first half and finished with a game-high 15 points. Her third bomb had West Noble up double digits in the second quarter, which the Chargers also held Wawasee to just one point. West Noble led 29-13 at the break over their sectional rivals.
Lauren Burns had 11 points and Angela Gross added nine points for the Chargers, now 6-1 on the season.
Wawasee’s struggles away from home continued, turning the ball over 23 times on the night. Wawasee, which is 0-2 away from the Hardwood TeePee and a -52 in those two losses, had Hannah-Marie Lamle and Casey Schroeder both finish with 10 points and a combined seven rebounds. Schroeder added four steals.
The Chargers claimed the JV game in a 34-30 final. Ella Beezley led the Wawasee JV (1-5) with 11 points and Danielle Jenkins tossed in eight points.
