The WLB Lady Wolverines are impressive on the basketball court to say the least. Both the 7th and 8th grade teams coached by Kari Froebe are off to 3-0 starts this season and they are simply schooling their opponents on the court.

 

On Monday night, the school celebrated the girls and raised the 2018 state championship banners in the gym just before annihilating Decatur Hope Academy in the 8th grade game.

 

The first quarter ended with WLB on top 34-2. At halftime the score was 63-2. At the end of three quarters Decatur Hope Academy had scored a couple more buckets and the margin was 82-8. The Lady Wolverines coasted to a 90-8 win as the fourth quarter clock ran. Kloe Froebe led the Lady Wolverines with 42 points. Becca Heitzig hit double figures with 10 points. 

 

WLB also won the 7th grade game over Decatur Hope Academy easily. The final in that one was 63-5. Mia Clark led the Lady Wolverines with 12 points. Lily Holmes added 11 points and Piper Whiteman tossed in 10 points. 

 

After the wins, WLB Coach Kari Froebe said, "It was a special evening. Thank you to all the fans that came out to support the girls and show their appreciation for the success they've had over the last three years."

 

Worth noting is the dynasty being built on the west side of town. The Lady Wolverines basketball program has five state championships in three years and six state championships since 2014. Dating back the last ten years, these girls have had six state championships, a runner-up and a third place finish. So eight of the last ten years has seen these girls bring home some serious hardware along with countless undefeated seasons.
