Double victory for WC basketball

Both Weatherford College basketball teams defeated Ranger College on Wednesday, March 5, coming away with a 71-62 victory for the Lady Coyotes and a 74-69 win for the Coyotes.

Maintaining the lead through all four quarters, The Lady Coyotes now stand at 10-6 in conference play, with a 19-10 overall record this season.

Neso Anisiobi was the Lady Coyote point leader, putting up a personal season high 24 points. Jacque Giron had a total of 14 points, and Pearson McVay brought down nine rebounds.

Leading Ranger by four points in the first half at 38-34, the Coyote men's team was looking forward to another win. Edging out the second half by one point, the Coyotes now sit at 11-3 in conference play, and 18-11 overall. 

Antwan Wilson led the Coyotes with 24 points, Braylon Crosby had a season high 13, followed by Acuel Deng at 11 points and Marcus-Myen King-Danchie added 10.

The WC women await the Temple/Cisco game on Saturday to see if they will qualify for the Region V Tournament or need a "play-in" game against Temple to determine the fourth and final spot from the North. If necessary, that game would be played Monday at Hill College in Hillsboro.

The men's team has locked in the number two seed at regionals.

The Region V Tournament will be held March 12-15 at McLennan Community College in Waco.
