The WBHS Varsity Girls basketball took to the court in an OAA White division match against Lake Orion to pull off a 55-48 victory. The Lakers commanded the first quarter, by taking an 18-9 lead.  As halftime approached Lake Orion rallied to outscore the Lakers 18-10 in the second and 13-8 in the third. The Dragons held a six-point lead early in the fourth quarter, but the Lakers were saving their best for last and stuck back with high intensity and went off on Lake Orion, resulting in a well deserved win. The Lakers should be very proud of this win, as they never gave up.
