Sweep spot: Wakeland blows past McKinney North

BY Chris O’Dell, codell@starlocalnews.com
MCKINNEY – The Wakeland volleyball team had no trouble establishing its intentions during the first set of Monday night’s match at McKinney North.

The Lady Wolverines jumped out to a 19-9 lead during the opening set before eventually earning a 25-12 victory and ultimately a straight set-sweep (25-12, 25-21, 25-20) of the Lady Bulldogs.

“We’re in a situation right now where we are playing so much that we have very little practice time,” said Kim Watson, Wakeland head coach. “We’re having to fix things on the fly, but I’m very happy with how we’re playing right now.”

Jackson Forbes transfers to JPII

After two years at Plano West, junior hoopster Jackson Forbes will have a new home for the 2012-13 season.


Forbes' mother, June Spencer, confirmed that the small forward has transferred to John Paul II.

The 6-foot-6, 200-pounder made the Wolves' varsity team as a freshman, increasing his minutes throughout the year and picking up a starting spot for much of his sophomore season.

Forbes was second team all-district in 2011-12, the youngest player to make first or second team.

Now Forbes, currently competing at a showcase tournament in Orlando, will move to a Cardinals' squad that has plenty to build off. John Paul made it to the TAPPS 5A State Tournament for the first time in 2010-11 and advanced to the TAPPS 5A State Finals this past season.
