Wolverines roast Redhawks to stay in play-off hunt

Your Wakeland Wolverines flew past the Liberty Redhawks this past Friday night by a score of 75-50. The Wolverines exploded in the second quarter for 31 points and never looked back for the rest of the night. Junior Varsity Head Coach Blake Reedy commented, "I haven't seen a team score that many points in a quarter since my days of coaching girls basketball back at Staley in '05..., it was nice to see us hitting on all cylinders!" Doriel Yeager led the Wolverines with 13 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 steals. Blake Adams and Josh Harris also added 12 points a piece. Vashun Lusk and Cameron Walker both grabbed 6 rebounds while Noah Westerfield pulled down 5. Sean Watkins had a career high with 7 assists. The win keeps Wakeland's play-off hopes alive as they currently find themselves tied for the last spot with Newman Smith. The Wolverines are 14-14 overall, and 6-5 in District 9-4A. Wakeland will back in action next Tuesday as they will look to tame the Lions of Turner for a second time. Tuesday's game is Middle School Night, so get to Wakeland early because we are expecting a packed house. Cobb, Griffin, and Staley basketball teams will be acknowledged prior to the game for their efforts in preparing to become future Wolverines. Also, congratulations to the Girl's Basketball Team as they looked to have sealed up another District Championship with the win against Liberty tonight. Go Wakeland!
