It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Wakefield can now relate to. They were outmatched by the Bishop Seabury Academy Seahawks and fell 79-24. While losing is never fun, the Bombers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Kansas basketball rankings (they are ranked 351st, while the Seahawks are ranked 55th).
Despite the loss, Wakefield still got an impressive performance from Kingsley Smith, who dropped a double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds. That was a full 45.8% of Wakefield's points, marking the fifth time in a row Smith has posted more than a third of the team's points. Nick Freeman was another key player, putting up nine points.
Even though they lost, Wakefield smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 12 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least nine offensive boards in three consecutive matchups.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Bishop Seabury Academy to victory, but perhaps none more so than Jace Hoffman, who shot 50% from the field to rack up 26 points and eight steals. Those eight steals gave Hoffman a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Chase Honarvar, who dropped a triple-double with 13 points, 14 boards, and ten blocks.
Wakefield has traveled a rocky road recently having lost ten of their last 11 contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-19 record this season. The win was the fourth in a row for Bishop Seabury Academy, bringing their record for this year to 16-4.
As of now, neither Wakefield nor Bishop Seabury Academy have any future games scheduled.
