With the Warsaw football team immersed in a historic run in the football playoffs, some historical perspective on how we got here is necessary.

Warsaw football coach Bart Curtis and leadership of the athletic department and the high school participated in the annual state finals football coaches meeting and media day at Lucas Oil Stadium on Monday.

For the first time ever, the Warsaw football team will play for a football state championship Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. 

Without question, the biggest game in Warsaw football history was played Friday night at Fisher Field. The stakes were simple: win, and head down to Indianapolis to represent the northern half of Indiana in the state championship game. After disposing of the No. 1 and No. 2 5A teams in the state the two previous weeks, the Tigers once again had their hands full with No. 3 Merrillville.

Since Adam and Eve were escorted out of the Garden of Eden, human beings have been on a search to find the secret of success.

History was made on two separate occasions at Fisher Field Friday night. The first was simple — by having the game at home, the Warsaw Football team played host to a regional contest for the first time in school history.

Revenge is a dish best-served cold.

Urgency … That was the common theme preached by first-year head coach Rebekah Parker at Tippecanoe Valley High School during a preseason practice.

Expectations are a funny thing.

Caitlin Clark set the sports world on fire during her last two years of college, and it hasn’t changed a lot since she moved to Indianapolis.
