WOODROW WILSON BASKETBALL

65 Sectional Titles Record 12 Straight State Tourney Appearances 8 Time Runner Up 16 State Championships HOT NEWS 2008-09 Record:21-6 State Ranking:N/A Next Opponent:Season Complete Justin Cook Signs With Big Blues Senior Justin Cook became the first senior to sign-on and continue his basketball career at the next level. The 5-8 senior signed to play with the Bluefield State College Big Blues. Cook spent most of his senior year coming off the bench as a role player but still was a part of the 2008 state championship squad last year. Justin played behind seniors Michael Fortune and Ryan Powers, but could have still started for almost any other team in the state. Bluefield State also boasts former Woodrow Wilson all-stater Rico Thompson on its team. Congrats to Justin on this great honor. Eagles Place Three on All-State Beckley placed three players on the 2009 All-State team released on Saturday evening. Suprisingly, the Eagles did not receive one player on the first team. Ryan Powers, a 5-11 senior, was named captain of the 2nd team after averaging just over 15 ppg. Michael Fortune, a 6-1 senior who averaged just over 12 ppg, was named to the 3rd team. Vashawn Wood, a 6-3 senior, was named honorable-mention also. I am not exactly sure I agree with these all-state teams. It is obvious the teams are political and the players down here didn't receive alot of support.It was very suprising to see Ryan Powers and South Charleston's Pierra Henry left off the 1st team. Obviously the sports writers need to pay a little more attention to the games instead of just the stats. Congrats to the three Eagle seniors anyways though.
