Wakeland belittles Little Elm

Your Wakeland Wolverines wasted no time on Friday night by limiting the Lobos of Little Elm by a score of 71-35. The Wolverines jumped out to a 22-7 lead in the opening quarter, and never looked back. They continued their fast pace on offense by scoring another 23 points in the second quarter, which extended their lead to 45-12 at halftime. Wakeland was able to hold Little Elm to single digits in the first two quarters of play. Head Freshmen Coach Joe Lewis yelled at half-time, "so what if we're up by 30, lets go out there in the second half, do things the right way, and put the pedal to the floor, it's not worth winning if you can't win big!"  Javante McCoy came off the bench and silenced the howl of the Lobos with 12 points. Sean Watkins and Anthony Grayson both scored 11 points. Noah Harmon dominated the glass with 8 boards. This brings Wakeland's overall record back to 11-14, with a 4-7 district record. The Wolverines have a huge week ahead of them as they will face off against two of their biggest rivals at home. First, Wakeland will host cross-town rival, Liberty on Tuesday night, so you better get their early, because its going to be packed and the house will be rocking! Go orange and blue!
