The Puckett Wolves came into Jack Case Gymnasium Tuesday night and swept a pair of games from the Bears.

In that first meeting, the West Lincoln boys (6-2) took a 65-43 win over the Wolves in Rankin County. Tuesday, the visitors from Puckett got a measure of revenge when they beat WL 55-35.

WL got 22 points from Karlton Byrd to lead them.
