Silencing the Roar

Last night the Badgers face up against an old foe the Milford Tigers.  This is the second time that these teams have played each other.  In the first quarter the lead was hard fought and travelled back and forth between teams.

 Wayne held the lead at the buzzer with a score of 15-18.  In the second Wayne was still fighting to keep the lead.  At the end of the first half Wayne was still up 24-32.  After the half Wayne came out with something to prove and jumped the score to 34-54.  When all hope seemed lost for the Tigers they came out with a convincing fight and brought the game back within two points, but they could not over power the Badgers in the final minutes of the game.  The final score came to be 50-63.  The leading scorer of the game was Wyatt Vanorden, 24 points and 4 3-pointers.  Garrett Chappell lead the team in rebounds securing 8 in the game.  Colby Taylor lead the team in both assists and steals.  While the varsity played well they were a man down due to an injury that happened earlier in the jv game.  We all hope for a speedy recovery and return to play.  This win brings the Badgers record to 8-4.  Come out and support as the Badgers race for a state title.  They travel to Monticello on Friday and will return home to face the Whitehorse Raiders on Saturday the 12.  Go Badgers.
