WRESTLING UPDATE 12-4-11
The Three Amigos
The Wakeland Wolverine Wrestling Team got off to a great start last month at the Arlington Martin Invitational. Zimmerman, Forbes, and Eppley led the Wolverine Wrestling team to a 4th place finish. "It was a tremendous effort on their part. Anytime you can win the tournament it speaks to your character," said coach Carter. "I don't feel like I wrestled my best, but I am glad I won the tournament," says Zimmerman. Carter adds, "I feel he (Zimmerman) is only going to get better." Forbes and Eppley went 4-0 on the day while cruising to the JV Championship. "I think the team did well", says Eppley. "We just want to get better each week, that's our goal," says Forbes
BASKETBALL UPDATE 12-3-11
Wolverines keep Bulldogs on short leash at Grapevine Tournament
Your Wakeland Wolverines got back to their winning ways this past Thursday by defeating the Bulldogs of Everman by a score of 62-48 in the opening round of the Grapevine Tournament. The Wolverines caused the Bulldogs to turn the ball over 34 times during the game. Varsity Assistant Coach Marty Tidwell stated to the Grapevine Gazette in a post-game interview, "our guys flew around with a lot of energy today and it looked they were hungry for a win, and that's exactly what they got!" Sean Watkins led the Wolverine onslaught from behind the arc, by hitting 4 of 6 three point attempts for a team-high, 13points. Cameron Walker had 9, while Josh Harris and Noah Westerfield both added 8. Vashun Lusk cleaned up the boards with 9, while adding 4 assists. This brings the overall record to 2-4, with a chance to win two in a row against the Indians of Waxahachie in the second round.
Wolverines earn top seed in Championship Bracket at GVT
Your Wakeland Wolverines have won two in a row by defeating the Indians of Waxahachie by a score of 72-35. Wakeland was hitting on all cylinders as their offense exploded for two 20 point quarters. Junior Varsity Coach Blake Reedy mentioned in the Hospitality room after the game, "this was the best all around offensive effort that I've seen a team at Wakeland have." Vashun Lusk led all scores with 12, while Josh Harris and Noah Westerfield scored 10 a piece. Cameron Walker and Lusk both pulled down 6 boards, while To'Nosha McCoy handed out 3 assists. Daniel Rentie led the defensive effort with 3 steals. The Wolverines overall record is 3-4, and will look to reach .500 again with a semi-final match up on Friday night against the angry Pirates of Wylie. If you'll remember, Wakeland defeated Wylie by double digits in their home opener just two weeks ago, so the Pirates will be looking to get revenge.
Pirates get revenge against Wolverines at GVT
Your Wakeland Wolverines were defeated by the Pirates of Wylie this past Friday night by a score of 47 to 43 in the semi-finals of the Grapevine Tournament. Wakeland jumped out to a 17-7 lead after the first quarter of play, but the Wolverines' offense struggled the rest of the way. The Wolverines only scored single digits in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, which ultimately led them to the plank. Freshmen Coach Joe Lewis was recorded saying, "when one team shoots 22 free throws and the other only 6, that can mean two things, either the refs don't like you very much, or you just settled for outside jumpers too much instead of attacking the rim..." Josh Harris hit "3" threes for a team high of 9 points while Cameron Walker put in 8. Vashun Lusk grabbed a career high of 11 rebounds, while Daniel Rentie looted the Pirates four times. This drops Wakeland's record to 3-5 on the season. The Wolverines will be back in action next Thursday in the 17th Annual Allen Invitational, so check the blog for a tournament bracket and come out to support your orange and blue!
