WeddingtonWeddington (13-15, 6-6)
The Warriors return everyone but one from last season’s team. The Warriors run this season will start with senior guard Caroline Clark. Clark is committed to Wingate and is one of the best shooters in Union Co. history (15.7 ppg/34% from 3/2.4 rpg/1.7 apg/1.6 spg), a 1000-point scorer through her junior year. Clark was named 1st Team All-UCHoops & All-SCC. It has been said that “The best thing about freshman is that they become sophomores,” and Weddington has four of them. Myra Ukwu, a 6’2 was a problem last season and will be a bigger problem this season after averaging 10.6 ppg & 4.9 rpg and 1.9 bpg in 20-2526. Sophomore Belle Denton got better each week and finished 7.5 ppg/3.2 apg/2.1 spg. Guard Olivia Schultz, does a lot of the dirty work on the perimeter defensively and 6’2 Kendyl Younger (3.0 ppg/2.3 rpg) standing next to Ukwu will make the Warriors BIG and athletic up front. Guard Lucy Piper, missed 7 games last season due to injury, can play both guard positions and shoot from the outside when asked. The Warriors should challenge for the SCC title this season. The Warriors open the 2026-27 season hosting Parkwood Nov.11th and that game will be an UnionCountyHoops.com Game of the Week!
