Wolfenbarger two wins away from another state title

Arkansas signee Jersey Wolfenbarger has one more on-court goal left and needs two more wins to accomplish that.

Wolfenbarger (6-6) had a game-high 16 points and 12 rebounds Thursday morning as Northside (24-2) downed Springdale Har-Ber 62-50 in the Class 6A girls basketball state tournament.

That moved the Grizzlies (24-2) into a Saturday 10 a.m. semifinal round match up with North Little Rock (19-8) as Northside attempts to win its second state title in three seasons.

Ranked as the nation’s seventh-best player by ESPN and selected as one of five finalists for the Naismith national player of the year award, Wolfenbarger expects a tremendous challenge.
