The Wrightstown boy's basketball team accomplished a rare feat for high school basketball teams against the Hilbert Wolves on Jan. 5. The Tigers' highly potent offensive attack let loose, scoring 101 points on the Wolves. Wrightstown defeated Hilbert 101-58 two days before Hilbert grabbed its fifth win of the season over Central Wisconsin Christian.
The latest match of the week was against the Central Wisconsin Christian Crusaders, which the Wolves won 54-44. Hilbert fell early, giving up 20 points to the Crusaders in the first quarter, but Hilbert battled back to take a two-point lead into halftime. Hilbert kept its lead throughout the remainder of the game as a result of three Hilbert players scoring double-digits. Zach Woelfel led the team with 18 points. Behind Woelfel was Austin Schaffer with 13 points, Spencer Schulz with 10 points, Evan Geiser with eight points and Bryse Schaffer with four points. The Crusaders were led by Feld with 15 points. In the first matchup of the week Hilbert's defense wasn't able to cope with Wrightstown's offense, which contained 12 scoring players. Wrightstown came out quick with 32 points in the first quarter and the Tigers' defense held Hilbert to only nine points. The Tigers took a 57-25 lead into halftime. After halftime Wrightstown picked up exactly where it left off, tallying 21 points in the third quarter and 23 points in the fourth quarter. The scoring attack for Wrightstown led to 33 converted field goals, eight three-pointers and 11 made free throws. Michael Falck led the Tigers with 22 points, including three three-point shots.
