Coach Walters
The boys swim team had a strong showing against Manchester
last night, winning by a score of 132 to 37.
Winners for Kokomo were: 200 Medley Relay of Logan
Hawk, Colton Pratt, Nathan Banush, and Caleb Cook. Banush
won the 200 Free and 100 Fly, Adam Harding took the 200 IM,
and Blake Brookshire was first in both the 50 and 100 Free.
Josh Church won the 500 Free, and the 200 Free Relay of Tyler
Schorm, Devin Shackelford, Phillip Heilman and Church was
also victorious. Hawk took the 100 Back, and the 400 Free
Relay team of Hawk, Cook, Shackelford and Brookshire came
in first.
This meet was more about getting good baseline times for these
guys, and every guy put forth tremendous effort.
Good job, guys. Keep up the good work.
Proud to be a KATFISH!
Coach Glick
The Kokomo High School boys’ basketball team opens their 111th season tomorrow night at
Memorial Gym.
Through their first 110 seasons, Kokomo has a record of 1,661-923. The Kats have won
over 64% of their basketball games through the years.
Tomorrow’s opponent is the Western Panthers.
This will be the 29th straight boys’ basketball season that Kokomo has opened with their
county rivals. The last time the Wildkats began their year with another school besides
Western was in the 1984-85 season, when Kokomo opened with North Central.
Tomorrow’s Kokomo-Western game will be the 64th in the series.
The Wildkats hold a commanding lead in the series with 57 wins to just six for Western.
Kokomo is on an eight-game winning streak in the series.
The last time Western defeated Kokomo was November 22, 2006, at Rea Gymnasium, home
of the Panthers. That game, a 61-50 Panther victory, was Brian McCauley’s first as the head
coach of the Wildkats.
The last time Western won against the Wildkats at Memorial Gym was November 23, 2005.
Kokomo coach Rick Baumgartner made his debut with a 62-57 loss to the Panthers.
Western’s six wins in the series have come by a combined total of 35 points. The biggest
Panther win was 11 points (on two occasions).
Kokomo’s largest margin of victory was 52 points in an 87-35 beating on November 22,
1995.
The series dates back to the 1949 sectional, when Kokomo defeated Western 47-38.
The Wildkats won the first 18 games in this series before Western finally dotted the win
column (51-49) in the 1980-81 season.
The first regular season matchup between the two schools came in the 1972-73 season, an
82-49 Wildkat win.
The two schools have played each other at least once every season since the 1978-79 school
year.
Bart Miller is set to begin his second season as the head coach of the Western boys’
basketball team. He took over the team in the 2012-13 season from former head coach Andy
Weaver. Miller will bring a 13-9 overall coaching record into the Kokomo affair. Miller is
0-1 in games against the Wildkats.
Brian McCauley is in his eight season with the Wildkats and has 114-50 overall record for a
fine winning percentage of .695. McCauley began his Kokomo reign in the 2006-07 season,
succeeding Rick Baumgartner as the head coach. McCauley is 8-1 in games against
Western, where he had been an assistant for Coach Andy Weaver.
Brian McCauley is 60-17 in games played at Memorial Gymnasium.
Brian McCauley is 9-2 in games played in November and 8-1 in games played on
Wednesday.
In his three varsity campaigns as a Wildkat player, Brian McCauley led the Kats to a perfect
6-0 record against Western.
Western’s 2013-14 roster has six seniors and five juniors. The Panther JV consists of two
juniors, a pair of sophomores, and five freshmen. Nine of the 11 were on the varsity roster
for last year’s game with the Kats.
The Panthers return three starters from last year’s season opener with the Kats – Evan
Warden, Des Balentine, and Austin Weaver.
Kokomo’s roster has eight seniors, two juniors, three sophomores, and two freshmen. The
JV team has one senior (a foreign exchange student), four juniors, seven sophomores, and
two freshmen. Seven of the 15 members of the varsity were on the 2012-13 roster at
season’s beginning.
The Wildkats have two starters returning from a year ago, although one won’t play this
evening. Erik Bowen will likely start tonight, but Tayler Persons will not see action because
of an ACL tear during the football season.
Western averaged 57.1 points per game offensively last season, and the Panthers yielded
58.4 points.
Kokomo’s offensive average was 60.6 in 2012-13, while the Wildkats defense limited their
opponents to an average of 46.7 points per game.
2 – The number of 10-game winning streaks for last year’s Kokomo
Wildkat boys’ basketball team. The Kats started the season with 12
straight wins before losing a pair (to Carmel and Tipton). Next the
Wildkats ran off 10 more before losing once again to Carmel in the
IHSAA Marion Regional.
3 – The number of consecutive 20-win seasons for the Wildkats.
12 – The number of KHS boys’ basketball teams in their 110-year
history that has won 22 or more games in a season, including the 2012-13
team.
73 – The number of IHSAA boys’ basketball sectionals won by the
Wildkats, more than any other school in the state of Indiana.
81 – The number of victories (against 17 defeats) that last year’s senior
class recorded in their four years of high school.
913 – The number of points scored by Tayler Persons in his three years
on the KHS varsity, 87 points shy of the magical 1000-point level.
8th – Kokomo’s ranking at the end of last season.
13 – The number of teams in the state that had a better record than
Kokomo did a year ago.
46.7 – The Kats defensive average from a year ago.
17 – The number of points scored by Taylor High School against the
Wildkats in last year’s Coca Cola Old School Sectional.
51.6% - Kokomo’s field goal shooting percentage for last season, the
best mark in the last 30 years of KHS boys’ basketball.
12 – The number of wins last season by the Wildkats at Memorial Gym.
They had no losses.
27 – The number of consecutive wins by the Wildkats at Memorial Gym.

After celebrating Thanksgiving Thursday, the Lady Wildkats return to action on Saturday.
The Kokomo girls’ basketball team tries to even their North Central Conference record with a
game with Muncie Central.
This game will be the home opener for Kokomo after three straight road games.
Muncie Central is 3-1 on the year, defeating Delta, Frankton, and Alexandria, while falling in
overtime to Indianapolis Cathedral (64-62). The four Bearcat opponents have combined for a
1-12 record.
This will be the NCC opener for the Lady Bearcats.
Saturday’s game will be the 33rd meeting between the two schools in girls’ basketball.
Kokomo has dominated the series, winning 31 of the first 32 games.
The lone Muncie Central victory in the series came in the 1994-95 season, when the Lady
Bearcats won 56-51.
The series dates back to a 59-36 Kokomo win in the 1979-80 season, and the two schools
have played continuously since 1987.
Lisa Blalock is the head coach at Muncie Central and will bring a 16-30 overall record to
Memorial Gym. Blalock is in her third season, taking over the program in the 2011-12 season
from Kaye Harrell. Blalock’s first team at MC won just two games, but the Lady ‘Cats
improved to an 11-10 record last year. Blalock is 0-2 against the Lady Kats, losing by an
average of 28 points.
Jason Snyder is 7-0 against the Lady Bearcats with an average margin of victory at 19 points.
Muncie Central averages 63.3 points per game. The Lady Bearcats shoot 42.3% from the
field, 27.8% from three-point land, and 55.8% from the free throw line. They average 34.3
rebounds per game.
The Bearcat varsity roster has five seniors, three juniors, and four sophomores.
Jayla Scaife is a 5’11” sophomore for Muncie Central and is quite a player. She averages
22.8 points per game, 13.3 rebounds a game, 2.5 blocks per game, and 2.3 steals per contest.
Scaife shoots 56.7% from the field and has a single game high of 37 points this season, that
coming against Cathedral.
Senior Jessica Rowe provides a nice 1-2 punch to go along with Scaife. Rowe averages 11.0
points and 5.8 rebounds a game.

BOYS BASKETBALL
November 21, 2012
The Kokomo Wildkats made the short trek to Western to open the 2012-13
boys’ basketball season, and the Kats made the most of it with a 52-30 victory.
Kokomo and Western were tied at 19-all at halftime, before the Wildkats salted
away the victory in the third quarter.
The Panthers had a couple of chances to score early in the third, but LaBradford
Sebree had an old-fashioned three-point play to open the second half scoring at
the 6:28 mark. The Kats would not trail again, extending their lead to as many
as 12 in the third stanza and 24 in the fourth.
The Kokomo defense held Western to 24% shooting in the second half. For the
game the Panthers had 30.6% accuracy from the field and made just 4-of-13
free throws. The Wildkats shot 40.4% for the game from the field.
The Wildkats also had an advantage in the rebounding department, grabbing 41
to 24 for the hosts. In second chance points, the Kats outscored the Panthers
13-2.
The Kats did a nice job of taking care of the basketball as they committed just
seven turnovers for the game.
Sebree led Kokomo in scoring. The senior was 10-of-18 from the field and
made his only free throw for 22 points. Erik Bowen started his junior year with
a strong effort. He had 11 points and 12 rebounds.
Evan Warden was the lone Western player in double figures, scoring 12.
