Wheeler vs. Walton: Howell too Much to Handle

Richard Howell has had quite a weekend. He led his team to two victories in two days over two of the Top-10 teams in the state of Georgia. After scoring 25 points in the victory over Milton on Friday night, Howell put up one of the best stat lines we have seen all year last night. He churned out 28 points, 20 rebounds, and 4 blocked shots in a 106-95 victory over Ryan Harrow's Walton Raiders. Harrow was a warrior as usual, doing all that he could to get his team the win, matching Howell's 28 points. Wheeler has turned their season around and they are looking more like the team that many thought might contend for the State Championship. Both Walton and Wheeler are now 13-6 on the season.
