The Woodlawn Prep Wolfpack remained perfect in district play with another big home win on Senior Night, downing district foe Sharkey Issaquena Academy 64-56 to advance to 12-4 overall and 6-0 against district opponents.
The Wolfpack's win was spurred by big performances from sophomores Braylon Reed and Cole Sinclair. Reed led all scorers with 25 in the contest, followed closely by Sinclair with 24. Woodlawn Prep made 11 of 16 free throw attempts, several of which came in the final two minutes as they withstood a late comeback attempt and secured their second straight win.
