Wolverines lose clash with Titans

Your Wakeland Wolverines were defeated by the Centennial Titans this past Friday night by a score of 60 to 45 in a must win game for both teams to keep their play-off hopes alive. Wakeland's slow start in the first half offensively hindered their ability to overcome a ten point deficit in the second half. Even though the Wolverines shot over 50% for the game, they just didn't get enough opportunities against Centennial's tricky zone. In addition, the Titans hit some crucial shots that broke the back of the Wolverines when they tried to mount a comeback. Head Freshmen Coach Joe Lewis, commented to Star Magazine, "when you don't match the intensity of the opposing team on their own home floor, it's going to be hard to win!" Anthony Grayson led the Wolverines with 10 points, 4 assists, and 2 steals. Sean Watkins added 9 points and 3 assists. Michael Sullivan scored 10 while Jimmy Wilkins pulled down 6 rebounds. This is the fifth district game in a row that the Wolverines have lost, which brings their overall record to 9-14, along with a 2-7 record in district play. The Wolverines will be back in action this Tuesday night at home against the Cougars of The Colony, so come and support your orange and blue as they look to get back to their winning ways. The Varsity tips-off at 8pm. Go Wakeland!
