Wolverines Head to Lindsay for District

Body
If you’re a Wolverine Basketball addict, you didn’t get your basketball fix this past week but there’s hope the teams will head to Lindsay on Friday. The Wolverines were going to travel to Henryetta last Tuesday and the schedule posted a final home game with Chandler coming to town on Friday. There was even talk of a make-up game with Konawa on Monday but none of those games were played. The travel problems and an eligibility issue on behalf of one of the opponents kept the Wolverines off the basketball court.
Holdenville big man, Layton Richmond, has become a rebounding force inside. Layton and his teammates will travel to Lindsay on Friday to challenge the Leopards for the district championship.
