 GAME NOTES:

• The Wolves and Warriors opened the half exchanging points as Wolves guard Caleb Golden scored five of the Wolves' first seven points for a quick 7-6 lead. The Warriors responded with a run of their own to retake the lead with a 6-0 run. Both teams would go back-and-forth the next 10 minutes, as neither team could build a comfortable lead.
• A Michael Daley jumper with under four minutes remaining would cut the Wolves deficit to 31-27, but the Warriors would close out the half on a 14-4 run to take a 45-31 lead heading into the half.
• The Warriors would build their lead out to 18 points in the early stages of the second half, but a quick 8-0 Wolves' run would get them within striking distance at the 15-minute mark.
• Unfortunately for the Wolves, the Warriors would limit the Wolves from putting together the much-needed run they had to have, stretching their lead out to 20 points at the five-minute mark and maintaining this lead as the final buzzer sounded.

• Kevin Baker led all scorers, recording 31 points to lead the Warrior offensive attack.
• Zayne Browning led four Wolves in double-digits with 14 points. Caleb Golden (12 points), Andrew Vaughan (12 points), and KiAndre Gaddy (10 points) rounded out the remaining Wolves in double-digits.
