Husky Nation packed the house to watch the boys basketball game against Newark Memorial, Jan. 14. Both teams were undefeated heading into the game. The team gave a valiant effort, but the Cougars continued their reign in the MVALs, with WHS losing 50-54. The Huskies held the lead at the ends of the first, second and third quarters, but failed to carry through to the final quarter. Mikhael McKinney (pictured) led both teams with the most scored points at 17 points. The Huskies missed free throws in the first three quarters came back to haunt him. The Huskies had one last chance to tie the game when McKinney brought the ball up the court to send it to overtime and shot a three-pointer to tie the game. The shot was heavily-contested, and there is speculation among the audience that he was fouled on the last play. The referees didn’t agree apparently. The boys fouled the Cougars to stall the clock, but Newark made free throws to put the game away.
