The Wolverines wasted no time earning a double-digit lead in the opening quarter. WLB was up 15-5 with Kruz Froebe leading the way with nine points.

WLB was up 33-11 at the half. Griffen Cross scored seven points here and Colby Bowman had six points. Froebe completed the scoring with five points.

That WLB defense was stifling and they held the Our Saviour offense to just one field goal in the third quarter. The Wolverines held a 42-13 lead when the third quarter came to an end.

Things got worse for Jacksonville Our Saviour in the fourth quarter as the team only managed to score a single free throw.

The Wolverines punched their ticket to the state tournament with a dominating 48-14 win.

WLB (26-1) will play Carrollton St. John (16-7) on Saturday, February 7, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. in the IESA 8th Grade Class 1A State Tournament.

Warrensburg-Latham High School is hosting the state tournament.

Congratulations, Wolverines!
