GASTON, Ind. — In the locker room after Wes-Del's 72-69 overtime win against previously unbeaten Wapahani, coach John McGlothin had a lot of things that he wanted to say to say.

But he chose not to say them. Instead, he elected to let his players go back out to the gym and soak in the program's first win over its county rival in more than a decade.

After the final horn sounded, the Warriors' student section cleared the stands. They jumped for joy and quickly formed a tunnel, high-fiving and hugging players and coaches as they walked into the locker room.
