by Sun Gazette Newspapers
So far this season, the Wakefield Warriors are 2-0 against their two Arlington County rivals in boys basketball action, with one regular-season game each still remaining against those opponents.
Wakefield’s most recent intra-county victory was an 80-64 road win over the Yorktown Patriots in high-school action. Earlier, Wakefield topped the Washington-Liberty Generals, 61-56 in overtime, for its initial win over a neighborhood rival. Each were Liberty District contests.
Last season, Wakefield finished 2-2 against those rivals, losing twice to Washington-Liberty.
In the win over Yorktown, the 80 points tied a single-game season high for Wakefield. The Warriors got off to a fast start in the outing, leading 18-11 at the end of the first quarter and 39-19 at halftime.
Four players scored in double figures for Wakefield, with senior forward Ethan O'Bryan leading the way with a career-high 20 points on 10 two-point field goals. He scored 16 in the first half, eight in each quarter.
“He played his role,” Wakefield coach Tony Bentley said of O’Bryan.
