Titans trip-up Wolverines in thriller

Your Wakeland Wolverines dropped their fourth game in district play Friday night against the Titans of Centennial by a score of 52-49. Once again, the Wolverines got off to a slow start in the first quarter as they saw themselves trailing the Titans 18-11. However, by the end of the first half, the Wolverines had cut into that lead and only trailed by 5 going into the locker room. Wakeland then came out hot and took the lead by the end of the third quarter. Unfortunately, timely turnovers in the last few minutes of play proved costly for the Wolverines as they saw a seven point lead slip away by the final buzzer. Head Freshmen Coach Joe Lewis commented to Frisco Home, "it pains me to see us play really well for most of the game, and then let it just slip right through our fingers..., this one really hurt!" Noah Westerfield had an active night with 11 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 assists. Cameron Walker added 9 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 blocks. In addition, Sean Watkins and Josh Harris both had 4 assists while Vashun Lusk grabbed 8 boards. The loss brings Wakeland's record to 13-13 on the year, with a 5-4 record in District 9-4A.
