The Wylie boys basketball team closed out its home schedule with a thorough victory Friday, pulling away for a 58-42 win over crosstown rival Cooper on Senior Night.
Leading 11-8 after one quarter, the Bulldogs outscored the Cougars 13-3 in the second quarter to take a 24-11 lead into halftime and answered every Cooper run from there to improve 5-2 in District 4-5A play.
The victory, which moved WHS to 16-11 overall, kept the Bulldogs’ district title hopes intact heading into Tuesday’s regular-season finale at Wichita Falls Legacy (18-8, 6-1).
