Raccoons outrun Wolverines for District Title

Your Wakeland Wolverines lost a hard fought battle this past Friday night to the Frisco Raccoons by a score of 64-58. The game was back and forth all night until the last :20 seconds when the Raccoons were able to hit a few key free throws to seal the deal for at least a part of the District Title, depending on how the Creekview and Centennial game goes next Tuesday. Head Coach Brent Benningfield commented to Outdoor Weekly, "its tough when you climb that mountain, get to the summit, and when it doesn't go your way..., its a tough pill to swallow!" Cameron Walker led the Wolverines in scoring with 15 points and 8 rebounds. Doriel Yeager added 10 points while Zol Singleton had 3 steals. Sean Watkins grabbed 6 boards while dishing out 7 assists and Noah Westerfield cleaned up the glass with 7 rebounds. The loss brings Wakeland's overall record to 15-15, and 7-6 in district play. The Wolverines will be back in action this Tuesday on Valentine's Day against the Trojans against Newman Smith for a battle of epic proportions, WIN AND YOU'RE IN! We need every Wolverine in attendance as we celebrate Parent/Senior night with a win to advance to the State Play-offs. Tip-off is at 8pm, so get there early to support your orange and blue!
