Your Wakeland Wolverines got back to their winning ways on Friday night by defeating the Redhawks of Liberty 50 to 48 in a must have game. Wakeland extends their winning streak to 15 in a row against Liberty since the birth of the cross-town rivalry. Wakeland and Liberty slugged it out all night like boxing heavyweights and anyone who knows anything about this rivalry, knew that it was going to come down to some last second heroics. On a Liberty free-throw to tie the game with just 20 seconds to go, Sean Watkins brought up the ball and penetrated deep into the lane and kicked out to Zol "Big Shot Bob" Singleton for his first and only "3" of the game, which sent the Wolverine crowd into a frenzy as they stormed the court because of the victory. Varsity Assistant Coach Marty Tidwell commented to ESPN 8, "I might need to start adding Just for Men to my hair at the end of the season, I've already had to sit and watch ten of these nail bitters, and we're not even through the first round of District!" Sean Watkins made school history by shattering the single game assist record with an astounding 11 assists. He was in a tie previously with '10 graduate Kevin Graham with 8. Josh Harris led the Wolverines in scoring with 16 points even though he had to bow out early due to a shoulder injury. Noah Westerfield added 11 points while Cameron Walker put in 9. The win brings Wakeland's overall record to 17-4, and improves their District record to 3-2. The Wolverines will look to avenge last year's 30 point loss to the Raccoons of Frisco at home on Tuesday night. It's been rumored that the game might be televised on TWC, so stay tuned for more details. Varsity will tip-off at 8pm. Go orange and blue!
