Wolfpack Grind Out 85–80 Win Over Waynesburg JV Behind Balanced Scoring and Dominant Rebounding

The Westmoreland County Community College men's basketball team earned a hard-fought 85–80 victory over Waynesburg University's JV squad, using balanced scoring and a relentless effort on the glass to take control in the second half.

The wolfpack placed five players in double figures and recorded 40 rebounds to impose their will physically throughout the night. The Wolfpack shot 35.7% from the field and knocked down 10 three-pointers, but it was their second-chance opportunities and defensive activity that ultimately made the difference.

Cameren Layton paced Westmoreland with 19 points on 7-of-16 shooting, including three makes from beyond the arc. The sophomore guard found a rhythm late and delivered several key buckets to spark the Wolfpack offense.

Ryan Burkart added 18 points, drilling three triples and going 5-of-6 at the free-throw line. His aggressive drives and perimeter shooting helped WCCC maintain control whenever Waynesburg attempted a run.

In the paint, the frontcourt duo of Julian Thompson and Tommy Davis proved overwhelming. Thompson posted a powerful 12-point, 13-rebound double-double, controlling the defensive boards and facilitating well from the high post with four assists. Davis matched him with 12 points and 13 rebounds of his own, including nine on the offensive end, punishing the Yellow Jackets inside all game long.

Blake White rounded out the double-figure scorers with 10 points, while also filling the stat sheet with 7 assists, 4 steals, and a block—a true two-way performance.

Off the bench, Tyler Anthony cashed in 2 huge 3 pointers down the stretch to finish with 6 points and had a critical defensive rebound late in the game. Jayson Watkins added 5 points and brought energy during key stretches.

Despite shooting inconsistently from the field, the Wolfpack compensated by forcing 18 steals, pushing tempo, and converting defensive stops into transition scoring. Their physical rebounding advantage extended possessions and gradually wore down Waynesburg's roster.

With the win, WCCC showcased its depth, toughness, and ability to win through effort plays even on an off shooting night. The Wolfpack now turn their attention to Jamestown County Community College in their next matchup looking to build on this balanced team performance.
