The semi-final game pitted against each other what turned out to be the best two teams in the tournament. The opponent was Ballard, a Kentucky basketball power. Ballard dominated the early play and led by 16 at the half. The second half was Whitefield’s and specifically Brandon Reed’s, who finished with 23 points. However, in a frenetic fourth period which saw the Pack vie for the lead, Ballard hung on to win by a final margin of 6 at 58-52. It should be noted that Ballard went on to win the tournament, blowing out their opponent in the finals.

Meanwhile, in the consolation game, after a closely contested first half in which Whitefield found themselves trailing by 1 at 33-32, the Pack defeated Bishop England convincingly outscoring them 35-15 in the second half to take third place. Brandon Reed again led Whitefield with 17, with Cameron Baskerville close behind with 15 and Trey Miller with 12. Two players were named to the All-tournament team: seniors Cameron Baskerville and Brandon Reed.

It is now time to begin the second season and the start of region play. This Friday, the #6 Pack travels to Landmark Christian, followed by the always exciting game against arch rival SACA at home on Saturday evening. Next week, after another region game at Atlanta International, the Pack steps out of the region to play two of the highest ranked teams in the state in 3rd ranked Walton (AAAAA) and 7th ranked Centennial (AAAAA). Let’s get fired up and help our boys (and girls varsity) win state titles in 2009!

Mark in his usual modest style said, “I was actually pretty surprised and excited to receive this award. I wasn’t expecting it at all.”

Marc has applied to a number of colleges and is carefully considering opportunities to continue his football career.

Congratulations, Marc.

Against 9-0 and #6 ranked (AA) Houston County (Ala.) on Saturday, the Pack set the tone with a 22-point lead by the half. Nine players scored led by senior Brandon Reed with 11 and senior Trey Miller, transitioning nicely from his role as Cobb County’s favorite quarterback, with nine.

Heads up WolfPack fans—the boys play #1 state-ranked Hancock Central on Dec. 20 at the Wilkinson County Classic. Back the Pack!

On Saturday, Houston County (Ala.) had little chance right from the start against our surging Lady ‘Pack. A smothering defensive team effort netted many turnovers and led to easy baskets in transition. Senior Daniel Hesse, Junior Molly Burke and freshman Carson Quiros were relentless in their aggressive play and Erichea Barnes, back in the lineup after an early season injury, was everywhere, swiping many a pass. A 30-8 half-time lead ballooned to a 61-18 win with Jasmine Swift taking 16 boards and Caroline Fletcher scoring as well. GO LADY ‘Pack!

Whitefield trailed by 11 points at halftime but cut the lead to 5 points heading into the final period of play. The team was not able to get any closer due to costly turnovers and missed scoring opportunities in transition, but these mistakes did not diminish an otherwise outstanding effort. Elijah Weems (15 points and 7 steals) controlled the paint, while Max Rieves (13 points and 4 steals) turned in his best performance of the season. Dallas Darling (8 points) hit several big outside shots to help keep Whitefield in the game.
