In the championship game, they won 93-66 led by All-Tournament player Neil VanBeck’s 34 points on eight made 3-pointers.

IT’S GETTING SCARY
Coming off the tournament, Westside is (18-2) overall and (3-0) in district competition.
While the Wolves get ready to get a quick break during the Christmas holiday, when they get back on the hardwood, Williams' focus will be set on getting his guys to max out on their full potential as a team.
Westside does well with using their size and getting great shots in transition, but Williams thinks the best Westside basketball is yet to come.
“If you look at where we are now and where I know we can be, I think it’s scary,” Williams said.
