Your Wakeland Wolverines started out the second round of district play Tuesday night with a win over the Coyotes of Heritage by a score of 68-63. The Wolverines struggled early against Heritage's zone and turnovers led to easy buckets for teh Coyotes in the first half. Wakeland saw themselves down by double digits at the start of the third. However, tenacious defense in the second half helped the Wolverines get going with a 28 point 3rd quarter while only allowing 10 points. That proved to be the difference as they Wolverines were able to hold off a last push by the Coyotes. Head JV Coach Blake Reedy advised, "our kids are growing up..., when we got down like that earlier in the year, it was hard to rally the troops, but the way we roared back in the second half shows maturity" Noah Westerfield led the Wolverines in scoring with 16 points while Sean Watkins dished out 6 assists. Josh Harris added 9 points, 5 boards, and 3 steals. Cameron Walker put in 10 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, blocked 2 shots, and had two steals. The win gives Wakeland their first overall winning record at 13-12, along with a 5-3 district record. The Wolverines will be back in action on Friday night as they will try to slay the Titans of Centennial on their own territory. Tip-off is at 8pm, so come out and support your orange and blue.
