Wheeler Takes The First Round

Wheeler advanced to 5-4 on the season after beating Pickering 74-68 today. Both teams shot over 50%. Wheeler held slight advantages in the rebound and turnover categories but other than that, this was a pretty even match up on paper. NC State commit Richard Howell finished with 13 points and 7 boards. He shot an efficient 5-9 from the field. Howell seems like a guy that lets the game come to him and doesn't force his game. He is on a team of studs and plays his role well.

Wheeler will play again on Monday at 5:15 against the winner of the Boys & Girls Kangaroos vs. J.L. Mann.

Richard Howell is averaging 17.29 ppg.
