BESSEMER — Wakefield-Marenisco and Bessemer both ended the 2024 portion of their schedule on a good note.

The Cardinals won their second straight game, a 72-45 victory over the Speedgirls Thursday night, and got back to .500 in time for the holiday break.

“I was hoping for 4-2 at this point,” W-M coach Alex Metas said. “We stumbled in the Ironwood game, so we’re going to have to settle for 3-3 and just continue to work harder to be able to make up some ground, what we lost with the loss in the first game.”

W-M doesn’t shoot very well, but they get a lot...
