With graduation taking nearly half the roster and almost 80% of the scoring from a year ago, the Weston High School boys basketball team will need for many untested players to step up in the 2024-25 season in order to be successful. 

While head coach Jacob Otwell’s cupboard was left mostly bare it is not without promise. 

That is being proved evident by the growth shown by the team during summer play that has found Weston increasingly getting better. The Wolves opened their summer session by losing to Saline 26-23 on May 28th. Bryce Zehr, the lone starter back from last year led Weston with 8 points. Kason Roberts added three with Ashad Harris, Daniel Williams, Brody Tidwell, Cole Otwell and Nathin Wages all scoring two each. 

Weston lost their second contest as well but improved their scoring by eight points in the 44-31 defeat against Calvin. Zehr, once again was the offensive catalyst with 14 points with the Harris boys, LaJavion and Ashad scoring four each. Hunter Donaldson added three, Tidwell and Dawson Clifton scored two each and both Aden Faulkner and Williams chipped in with a free throw. 

The Wolves showed even more improvement in their third contest, gaining revenge over Calvin 35-24. A much better team scoring effort was exhibited as Zehr led the way with 9 points followed closely by Wages who ended with eight. Williams chipped in with six, and both Abram Toms and Clifton finished with five each. Tanner Allen added two.
