Your Wakeland Wolverines got their first win of the year by defeating Wylie in their home opener by a score of 46 to 31 last Friday night. Defense was the key to victory as the Wolverines shut out the Pirates in the first quarter by jumping out to a 16 to 0 lead. Success continued in the second as the Wolverines went into the locker room at half leading 27 to 9. The Wolverines struggled again to put the ball in the hole in the third, which helped the Pirates stay in the game. However, the Wolverines tenacious "D" in the fourth along with some key lay-ups helped secure the win. Once again, the Wolverines were led by Sophomore sensation, Sean Watkins. Watkins, hit "3" threes, which helped him lead all scores with 12. He also added 5 assists, while looting the Pirates for 5 steals. Noah Westerfield added 10 points while Mitch Walker windexed the boards with 7 rebounds. Varsity Assistant Coach Marty Tidwell commented, "I thought we showed signs of things to come with our performance in the first half, although, we must put an entire game together!" This brings Wakeland's overall record to 1-1 on the season, and they will go for their second win against the Lions of McKinney on Monday night at home. The freshmen start at 4:30, followed by the JV at 6, and the Varsity at 7:30pm. Go Wolverines!
