Entering the second senior forward #1 Le’Nard Wilson of Watkins Mill, puts his team on his back finishing almost everything at the basket while on the other side #32 sophomore of the Titans kept his team in the game and eventually allowing his team to take the lead over the Wolverines going into halftime.

Coming out for the second half both teams still looked fresh and ready to take on each other, senior forward  #23 Torez Rhea  and senior forward #2 Jeffrey Adarkwa of Watkins Mill, grabbed a total of 14 rebounds early and the Wolverines capitalized off of them scoring in transition and getting to the free throw line off and early.

Entering the fourth the show a team effort as they start to show that they are too much for the Titans to handle, and ride their momentum all throughout the rest of the game as they win their first round playoff game.

Congrats to the Wolverines.
