WHITELAND, Ind. -- Whiteland is hoping to extend their record to 15-4 this weekend.

They are doing it in a gym that opened in 1965. 

Coaches and players have come and gone over those years. But one fan is a constant. 

His name is Jerry Lasiter. The 69-year-old has missed just one game in 65 years. 

And the community has embraced him, just like he's embraced the school. 

He is truly the ultimate Warrior.
