DISTRICT CHAMPS 2025!

"It's been 30 years since Roy won the Junior High Girl's Basketball Championship, but Wahlquist dashed Roy's dreams in a nail-biting District Championship clash! ⚡ The Weber High gym was a cauldron of energy, a deafening roar echoing with every play. Roy, the undefeated Razorbacks, led by 10 at halftime, showcasing dominance under the hoop. But Wahlquist, the reigning champs hungry for their fourth straight title, stormed back with eagle-eye precision perimeter shots. The tension was palpable. In the end, Wahlquist edged out Roy 46-43, leaving hearts pounding and voices hoarse. A truly epic battle between two powerhouse teams!" - WSD Facebook Post
