Teams rarely learn anything from blowout wins, but gain more from tough losses.
If that’s the case, the East Webster Lady Wolverines got plenty of learning in this week.The Lady Wolverines lost two of three contests, falling 31-29 to Northside before beating J.Z. George 46-14 on Friday. The Lady Wolverines lost another two-point game on Saturday, falling to Choctaw County 47-45.
“We didn’t play very well on Tuesday,” Ginn said. “I know it’s a long bus ride but that’s no excuse. We didn’t play well at all. I thought we came back and played better on Friday and Saturday. We had our chances against Choctaw County on Saturday. We had a shot to win or tie and couldn’t get it to go down. It was a good game.
East Webster will return to action on Monday as they travel to Oak Hill Academy in West Point and will host Leflore County on Friday to finish Division 2-2A play.
The Lady Wolverines are now 14-8 overall and 2-2 in 2-2A play.
