Wolverines slay Dragons for second year in a row

Your Wakeland Wolverines got back to their winning ways this past Tuesday night by defeating the Dragons of Southlake by a score of 59 to 43. Wakeland and Carroll struggled offensively the first quarter, which was evident by the score, 10-6. However, the Wolverines found their groove and extended their lead to 5 by the end of the first half. In the third, the Dragons reigned threes, which helped them tie the game at 33 before going into the last quarter of play. During the fourth quarter, the Wolverines dominated the paint, which increased their lead to double digits and they never looked back. Head Coach Brent Benningfield commented to the Carroll Tribune-Herald, "it was fun to beat Coach Tidwell's alma matter for a second time!" Noah Westerfield led the Wolverines with 10 points and 10 rebounds, which is third double-double on the season. Justice Williams came off the bench to put in a game-high, 14 points. Sean Watkins added 4 steals and Jordan Harris dished out 4 assists. This brings Wakeland's overall record to 5-4. The Wolverines will be hibernating this weekend in preparation for the winter storm, and will be back in action on the road against #2 ranked Denton Guyer on Tuesday, Dec. 10th. Go orange and blue!
