Wolverines streak ends at 14, lose to Boyd in OT

Your Wakeland Wolverines streak finally came to an end this past Friday night at the hands of the McKinney Boyd Broncos. The Wolverines tried to hold on for dear life in the last few quarters of play, but eventually were bucked off before the buzzer sounded in OT. Wakeland fell short 55 to 50. Even though the Wolverines found themselves up by 8 going into the final quarter of play, turnovers, and the inability to hit free-throws down the stretch led to their demise. Junior Varsity Coach Blake Reedy commented, "it felt we were just off all night, physically, and mentally; however, we are fortunate that our off night was tonight, and not the first game of District against Prosper on Tuesday, that's when we start playing for keeps!" Even though the "streak" is over, the bar has been set pretty high for Wolverine teams to follow. Noah Westerfield led the Wolverines with 10 points and 8 rebounds, while his counterpart in the lost post, Cameron Walker added 9 points and 8 boards. Josh Harris added 12 points while Sean Watkins grabbed 6 rebounds. The Wolverines will be back in action this Tuesday night at Prosper High School for the first game of District play. So come and support your orange and blue as they will look to start a new streak in hopes of clinching a District Title. JV starts at 5, 9th at 6:30, and Varsity will tip-off at 8pm. Go Wakeland!
