-- The Waveland Varsity gave the Gladiators a rough fight but just couldn't last the last round. The Hornets came out in the 1st quarter with a mighty flash and took the lead at 7-0 in the first two minutes. The Gladiators then started the long run home and it was all the Hornets could do to hold the lead at 16-14. The Gladiators were just two points behind at the start of the 2nd quarter but they didn't waste any time racing to a lead of 3 points at half-time 26-23. At the start of the 3rd quarter the Gladiatiors left the Hornets at the post and were on the home stretch 44-37 when the quarter was over. The Hornets were brought down when Garry Bazzani was taken to the Crawfordsville Hospital with a dislocated shoulder. The Gladiators started to gain on the Hornets again but the Hornets just couldn't hang on... let's get behind our team and get them fired up for the big one.
