VINCENT — Records are made to be broken and that’s exactly what took place here Saturday night inside the Warrior Coliseum as Warren senior guard Julian Stadelman became the school’s all-time leading scorer, passing Evan French, as the hosts doubled up Philo, 70-35.

Stadelman pumped in a game-high 27 points and the first of his two made free-throw attempts with 6.2 ticks remaining in the third brought him to French’s total of 1,451. After swishing in the second attempt, which gave the Warriors of head man Blane Maddox a 61-27 bulge entering the final eight minutes, the hosts and their fan base celebrated the feat.

“A lot of people had been coming up to me telling me I needed 27,” admitted Stadelman, whose 17-foot jumper 17 seconds into the affair via a Connor Barry assist put the now 18-2 Warriors, winners of 13 straight, ahead for good. “They were keeping track of it.”

Stadelman, who missed two of his first four charity stripe tosses, knows he could’ve had the record a little earlier.

“I was a little upset that I missed them, but my teammates, I knew they wanted me to break it tonight so I knew they were going to keep feeding me the ball,” added the four-year starter. “I wasn’t worried about breaking it at all.

“I play better when it’s packed and the Warren fans always come to the gym to support me and just the team. That boosts our morale and we’ve just been killing it recently, our team. I know nothing about him (French). I know he could score and he went to the Final Four (2012-13), but I knew he was a heckuva player.”

French, who was on hand to watch his record go by the wayside, presented Stadelman with the game ball at midcourt.

“Oh, man, it’s great and I’m glad I could be here,” admitted French, a 2014 WHS graduate who played collegiately at West Liberty. “I think that just shows how good of a program it is that coach Maddox has been able to hold things together and always raise the bar for the next group of young guys coming in. I’m really glad that he was able to do that and let’s see them go the whole way. I hope that inspires some younger kids to try and break that.”

Following his opening make, Stadelman buried a pair of trifectas as the Warriors led 8-2 with Philo getting its first deuce by Camden Stoner thanks to a Cooper Radcliffe assist.

With 3:33 left in the first, Stoner converted again after taking a feed from Malachi Strickland to make it 11-8, but Colin Anthony came off the bench and drained two 3s and it was 18-8 after one following a Nick Cressey foul shot.

Philo, which dropped to 6-14 and shot 27.7% (13 of 47) compared to the Warriors’ 43.3% (26 of 60), only trailed 22-14 early in the second when Griffin Harper found Masen Runkle open for a deuce, but the Warriors proceeded to go on a 17-0 run to take complete control.

Stadelman, who dished out a game-high four dimes, had seven points during the spurt. Hayden Wells and Cressey had a bucket apiece while Barry hit from downtown twice thanks to dimes by Jacob Sealey.

Wells, who finished with nine points and eight rebounds, gave the Warriors a 42-20 intermission advantage when he got a putback with 2.7 seconds left in the half.

“I told him congratulations. I really thanked the rest of the team for getting those rebounds for him,” quipped coach Maddox, who watched Stadelman misfire on a trio of 3s in the third before getting fouled on a shot attempt in the paint.

When asked to reflect on French and the run his Warriors made a little more than a decade ago he admitted ‘not just Evan’s run. Michael Hall’s run. All of them — Evan Yabs’ run, Reece Patton’s run. All the guys’ run.

“(Dylan) Leffingwell, just, I could just go down all of them. Great run. They set it up for a lot of these kids who were watching that run and wanting to play for Warren basketball, so it just continues.”

Barry finished with nine points for the Warriors, who will try to improve to 11-0 inside the Warrior Coliseum when Fairfield Union invades Tuesday night.

Anthony, who joined Tyson Cochran with six caroms and had a game-high four steals, scored six points along with Cressey. Chase Lupardus finished with five points and grabbed a game-high nine boards.

Rusty Trout, Stoner and Radcliffe led the Electrics with six points apiece. Stoner had five rebounds while teammate Runkle chipped in five counters and had four caroms.
