The first game was against a very tough opponent from Pennsylvania, Central Bucks West. Our Warriors once again proved that they are a force to be reckoned with! Our boys were up by a point at half time. They outscored Bucks West 25-8 in the third quarter. Senior Halil Parks dropped 25 that quarter, Senior Alan Treakle went off and scored 15 points and also got an impressive 9-9 from the line. Junior Amari Cooper also had an amazing game, scoring 1o points and grabbing 6 rebounds. The final score of the game was 72-55, Wakefield.

Wakefield moved on to the second round where they faced South County. Once again, they killed it. They were down at the beginning, due to some very good shooting from the Stallions, but that didn’t last long as our Warriors came back strong. Junior Amari Cooper led the team with 27 points and 7 rebounds, Senior Alan Treakle dropped 13 points, dished out 5 assists, and grabbed 5 rebounds, Senior Halil Parks also balled out dropping 12 points, grabbing 3 rebounds, 1 block, and dished 3 assists. With this 70-64 win, the Warriors earned their place in the championship against a tough Glenelg County (D1) team.
