Weston 52 Atlanta 25 (Girls) The Lady Wolves stormed out of the locker room to score 16 straight points to start the game and never looked back to waltz their way to the Dodson Tourney title. Midway through the second quarter, the lead had ballooned to 29-3 allowing head coach Stacy Tucker to give his reserves a lot of playing time. This led to new season highs in scoring for several, including Livi Otwell and Faith Beamesderfer, who scored five each, and Nadia Siadek with four. Lainee Trosclair continued her torrid early season shooting display with two more three-pointers in the first half to up her team lead in trifectas to 13 on the year which is also one of the top marks in north Louisiana. With 14 points, “Long Range” Lainee was the only Weston player to score in double figures leading ten players who tallied in the championship contest. Weston had entered the contest averaging a little over 76 points a game and even after scoring almost 20 points less than in any game this season is still hitting at an incredible 70.5 points per contest clip, leading to their best start to a season since reeling off four in a row in 2019. The difference in this game though was a suffocating defensive effort that held Atlanta single digits in each of the four quarters. 

Weston 73 Calvin 59 (Girls): In the second round of the Dodson Tournament, Weston produced another scintillating offensive performance to run Calvin out of the gym on Friday. With a season-best 13 three-pointers, the Lady Wolves continued their torrid start to the season that has seen them shatter school records. Already, Weston had set a new mark by scoring 157 points in the first two games and now has become the first team in school history to break the 70-point barrier in three straight games.
Lainee Trosclair led the way with 21 points on the strength of five three-pointers, already the second time she has accomplished the feat this season. Briley Peterson added four from behind the arc and Emma Kate McBride chipped in with three more as the pair scored 19 and 15 respectively. Anslee Aldy also got into the “bombing” act with a pair of trifectas and finished with 8 points. Making the teamwide marksmanship even more impressive is that all of this was done in three quarters lifting Weston to a commanding 67-42 advantage heading into the final period. Faith Beamesderfer, Nadia Siadek, Raelynn Shell, Lexie Millien, and Jakayla Fourd all scored a basket each as well. The 29 points scored in the third quarter is a new season best.

Weston 87 Castor 79 OT (Girls): Down by eleven after one period of play, the Lady Wolves mounted a furious fourth-quarter rally to tie the game in regulation and then blow past Castor in overtime to take the high-scoring victory in the opening game of the Dodson Tourney. The 87 points are the most Weston has scored in over 15 years and the combined 157 points tallied in the first two games of the season is believed to be a new school mark.
Briley Peterson grabbed 12 rebounds and hit 11 of 16 shots to post 27 points while Emma Kate McBride made 9 of 11 to add 26 points. Lexi Millien chipped in with 19 and Lainee Trosclair added 11, including a clutch three-pointer to give Weston a 73-72 lead with just 3.9 seconds left in regulation after the Lady Wolves entered the final frame trailing 63-55. Jessica Newton rounded out the scoring with four.
Castor turned out to be a formidable foe as the 25 points that Castor posted in the first quarter is the most Weston has allowed in any period so far this season  The Lady Tigers had a shot to win it at the end but made only one of two free throws to send the game into overtime. That set the stage for Weston to continue the late-game surge and outscore Castor 14-6 in the extra frame to run their record to 2-0 on the year.

Weston boys fall in first round

Castor 64 Weston 34 (boys): Castor won their second game in a row in convincing fashion to oust Weston in the first round of the Dodson Tournament. After opening the season with a dominating 78-17 effort to defeat Downsville, the Tigers continued to be stingy with points to send the Wolves to their second straight loss to start the year. Braden Theriot scored eight points to lead Weston followed by Tait Henderson with seven and Bryce Zehr with six. Nathan Wages added five and in his first action of the year after missing the season opener with a sprained ankle, Mitchel Mathews scored four. Daniel Watlington also chipped in with a basket.
