Missed FT's cost Wolverines against Eagles

Your Wakeland Wolverines lost a hard fought battle this past Tuesday night to the Prosper Eagles by a score of 52 to 41. Wakeland went 6-22 from the free throw line for a staggering 27%. From beyond the arc, it wasn't much better because the Wolverines went 1-11 for 9%. However, the Wolverines stingy defense kept them in it all night long, and they found themselves down by two points with two minutes to play. Wakeland tried to keep up with the Eagles, but their offensive struggles proved too much in the end.   Varsity Assistant Coach Marty Tidwell stated to the National Basketball Magazine of Texas, "we're very proud of the way our guys battled, but when you miss 16 free throws during a game..., that's going to be hard to overcome on the road in this district!"  Sean Watkins had an impressive stat line with 9 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals. Noah Harmon scored 6 points, and grabbed 11 boards. Jimmy Wilkins and Anthony Grayson both added 8 points. The Wolverines have dropped their last four district games, which puts their district record at 2-6 and 9-13 on the year. They will look to get back in the win column against the Titans of Centennial on Friday night at Centennial High School, so come out and support your Wolverines. Tip off is at 8pm!
