But it’s the truth, and the In- dians will have some big shoes to fill with the departure of do-it- all graduate Kal Schaplow who is now playing basketball and track and field for Eastern Washing- ton University. Also graduated is Alejandra Cadarso. Schaplow, the Central 2B League MVP, was an Associated Press first-team all-state selection after averag- ing 17 points and five rebounds a game. “It will be a lot different not having her as the backbone of the team, but I think if we put in the time we’ll be OK,” junior wing Marina Smith said. Instead of having Schaplow Eric Trent / [email protected] as the main offensive focus, the Toledo senior Stacie Spahr looks for a layup during practice on Tuesday.
