The District 1B contest against Doyline was a tale of two Wolves teams heading in different directions. The Lady Wolves reached new heights by exploding for a Jackson Parish best in points scored this season while the Wolves boys team continued to sink further in the District 1B standings. 

The Weston giurls beat Doyline by a whopping 70-19 margin, setting new season bests in both scoring and points allowed. Standout Briley Peterson turned in one her best performances of the year by hitting 10 of 14 shots that led to a game-high 25 points. Carly Jo Griffin also reached “double digits” in scoring with 10 points, while Carlynn Waters had eight and Anslee Aldy scored 7 points.  Gracie Gray finished with five points, and Rachel Bandy scored four while also grabbing a team-high seven rebounds. Ada Claire Tidwell tallied three and Olivia Otwell made a basket to round out the offensive onslaught. 

In the boys contest, Nathin Wages, who led the Wolves with 18 points, hit a three pointer to bring Weston to just a five point deficit at 24-19 but a repeated pattern of hitting a lull in scoring doomed WHS as Doyline built a 20 point lead before settling for the 75-59 victory. The loss was the fifth in a row for Weston who fell to the District 1B cellar with a 0-3 record, and dropped to 6-17 on the year following their 9th loss in the last 10 games. Bryce Zehr finished with 16 points and Brody Tidwell tallied 12. Dawson Clifton scored five, Daniel Williams four and Lajavion Harris added a basket for Weston who managed to hit only 24 of 65 shots, which tabulated to a 37% field goal percentage.
