MIDDLETOWN, Ind. — When Wapahani's players emerged from the visiting locker room Friday night, several of them leaned up against the wall on the far side of the gym. They stood there in silence and watched as Shenandoah's players continued to celebrate their Mid-Eastern Conference championship at the other end of the court.
There was regret in eyes of the Wapahani players, who had just lost 44-40 to the No. 2-ranked team in Class 2A. That didn't come as a result of how Wapahani played as it had led for half the game and limited Shenandoah, a team that averages 71.
