South Cobb Patch Weekly Sports Recap

Whitefield Academy

Whitefield Academy’s boys’ basketball team lost their Class A state semifinal match-up against Terrell County 66-63 this past Wednesday at the Macon Centreplex. 

Advancing to the Final Four for the third straight year, the Wolfpack were looking to win their second state title in three years, but fell short in their attempt to make it back to the championship game.  

In a rematch of last year’s semifinal game against Terrell County, in which Whitefield came out victorious, the Wolfpack were on the wrong end of a controversial call that ultimately decided the fate of this ball game. Whitefield was called for a back-court violation, but the television replays showed that not to be the case. Whitefield ends their impressive season at 28-4.
