Team advances to district championship
Wheeler High student Levan Whitbeck looks for a lane against Husky senior Eduardo Rubio in Spray on Thursday, Feb. 16.
Spray exchange student Eddie Wu provided a spark for the Rattlers.
There was no quit in the Sherman County Huskies on Thursday night.
Trailing from the start, the Huskies could have folded. But each time the Rattlers stretched their lead, the Huskies came back.
Ultimately, it was not enough and the Wheeler Co. Rattlers beat the Sherman Co. Huskies 59-51.
The game opened with a 3-pointer by Carter Boise, who also had a rebound and put-back to give the Rattlers a 12-4 lead early.
But Sherman County's Gabe Fritts answered, as he did all night, with a 3-pointer to make it 14-9 at the end of the first quarter.
Levan Whitbeck opened the second quarter with a three-point bucket and hit another minutes later. But Fritts again answered both of those buckets with threes of his own.
