Boys Come Close Against Maret

Last Monday, the Wakefield boy's Varsity basketball team, fell to Maret in a very close 33-36. This loss currently puts the boys basketball team at a 1-5 season. Last year at this time the boys were 5-1, a very different number to the players and the fans.

The first quarter the Warriors started off with an early lead of the game as they ended the quarter with a seven point lead against their opponents. However, Maret managed to take the lead during the second quarter and lead the Warriors throughout the rest of the game. Both teams were able to cancel each others offense out with a strong defense leaving the numbers of points scored very low.

The one thing that stands out about Maret most is the fact that they had really only two players who could put the ball up from anywhere around the court. Maret's lead scorers were Tre Bowens with 12 points and Ryan Simpson with 10. However the rest of the players on Maret barely were able to score 5 points during the course of the game. Wakefield however has a good combination of players that can score and can put up roughly the same number of points that Maret's standout players can.

One thing is for certain though. This season is going to be a complete difference than the one that the Warriors had last year.
