Decade of Dominance Continues As
Hatchets Win 6th State Title
March 27,
2010. In an epic
overtime battle, the Washington Hatchets won their third state title
in six years, with a 65-62 victory over Gary Wallace at Conseco
Fieldhouse. Cody Zeller
tied a finals record (and school record) with 26 rebounds to go
along with 20 points to pace the Hatchets.
Kurtis Anthony added 17 big points for
Washington
, which finished the season at 23-3.
Dylan Ervin held 6-6 Branden Dawson (who averages 24 points
per game) to 7-24 shooting, as the Hatchet defense continued to shut
down its post-season opponents.
Wallace shot just 31.6% from the field.
Cody Zeller
finished up a remarkable junior year, averaging 20.5 points per game
and 11.4 rebounds per game. The
2010 Washington Hatchets was WHS’s 100th team, and Cody
was the first junior to average 20 points per game at WHS.
He was named tourney MVP.
Over the
past 9 seasons starting with the 2001-02 season (when Luke Zeller
started as a freshman),
Washington
(182-36) has the best record in the state.
Only Muncie Central (8) and Marion (7) have more state
basketball state titles than
Washington
.

Hatchets Get Defensive
As
Washington
Topples
Top-Ranked
Danville
March 20, 2010.
The 2008 Washington Hatchets marched to a state title with an
unstoppable offense paced by Tyler Zeller and Seth Coy.
The 2010 Washington Hatchets (22-3) are driving towards the
same destination but they are taking a different road.
A road built on defense.
During tournament play, the Hatchets are holding the
opposition to 34 percent shooting from the field.
Over this five game span, the opponents are averaging just 39
points per game. The
Semistate held at Southport was no different as WHS held
Danville
(25-2) to just 22% shooting enroute to a dominant 57-38 victory.
Dylan Ervin scored a career high 21 points to pace the
Hatchets.
Cody Zeller now ranks
16th all-time on Washington’ scoring list with 848
points.

Zeller Shatters Record as Hatchets Win
Regional
March
13, 2010. Cody Zeller
broke Steve Bouchie’s 32-year old scoring record as
Washington
(21-3) earned a spot in next week’s semi-state with two
hard-fought wins. Zeller
paced the Hatchets with 29 points and 17 rebounds in the first game
as WHS defeated Corydon Central, 52-45.
In the title game against Boonville, Zeller played only 4
minutes in the first half due to foul trouble, but WHS held a 6
point lead at halftime. Boonville
opened up the 3rd quarter with 13 consecutive points to
take a 32-25 lead.
Washington
cut the lead to 1 on a three-pointer by Zeller to close out the 3rd
quarter. The Hatchets
regained the lead early in the 4th quarter and never
looked back. Zeller
again paced the Hatchets with 21 points.
Cody
Zeller now ranks 17th all-time on
Washington
’ scoring list with 834 points.
Cody surpassed Steve Bouchie’s 1978 junior class scoring
record of 467 points and now has scored 498 points this season.
Sam Gines ranks 63rd all-time with 511 points.
