Wolverines go "ice cold" at Denton Guyer

Your Wakeland Wolverines dropped their fifth game of the season by losing to the Wildcats of Denton Guyer on Wednesday night by a score of 62-42. It was either the cold weather outside or the week lay-off, but whatever it was, it kept the Wolverines from scoring anywhere on the court. Wakeland found themselves down to the #2 state ranked Wildcats 22-8 at the end of the first quarter. Guyer was "red hot" beyond the arc by hitting 7 of their 10 three pointers in the opening minutes of play. Your Wolverines fought hard all the way to the end, but going 41% from the free-throw line, 17% from beyond the arc, and just 29% for the game just didn't get the job done. Freshmen Head Coach Joe Lewis mentioned, "this is a game of numbers, I firmly believe that these shooting woes WILL NOT continue!" Your Wolverines were led by Jimmy Wilkins, who tallied his third double-double of the season with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Justice Williams came off the bench to score 9 points and Sean Watkins had 4 assists, 2 blocks, and 4 steals. This brings Wakeland's overall record back to .500 at 5-5, as they travel to the Forney tournament on Thursday at 1:30pm to take on the high-octane Yellowjackets of Rockwall High. Hope to see you there. Go orange and blue!
