Wolverines get sixth in a row with win in District Opener against Heritage

Your Wakeland Wolverines rang in the New Year a little early with a victory over the Heritage Coyotes Saturday afternoon by a score of 70-50. This is the first time since the second game of the year that the Wolverines have reached .500. At one point during the season, the Wolverines were a dismal 3-9 and things were looking bleek. However, Freshmen Head Coach Joe Lewis was heard murmuring in an office game of rebound, "this is why we played such a tough pre-season schedule..., we were getting ready for District..., the time is here, the time is now!" Noah Westerfield led the Wolverines with 12 points, while Sean Watkins dished out 5 assists. Vashun Lusk had a double-double, with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Daniel Rentie made it out of the Coyote den with 5 steals. The win brings Wakeland's overall record to
9-9, with a 1-0 record in District 9-4A. The Wolverines will be back in action this Tuesday night on their own home floor against the Titans of Centennial. This is a crucial game for both teams for an early lead in district play. Varsity will tip-off at 7:30, so come out and support your orange and blue.
