Frisco Reedy Dominates Wakeland 84-65; Thornton Scores 37 in Loss

Frisco Reedy used a fast start and a dominating fourth quarter to beat Frisco Wakeland 84-65 in a cross-city matchup Jan. 21. Reedy built a cushion early, survived a third-quarter surge by Wakeland and closed the game with a 29-13 fourth quarter that sealed a decisive victory.

Reedy outscored Wakeland 25-15 in the opening quarter and led 39-24 at halftime after a 14-9 second period. Wakeland roared back in the third quarter, scoring 28 points to Frisco Reedy’s 16 and cutting the margin to 55-52 entering the fourth. The late run by Reedy, however, flipped the game back in their favor and kept Wakeland from completing the comeback.

Cedric Thornton carried the scoring load for Wakeland, finishing with 37 points. Matt Lastre and Cameron McCain added eight points each for Wakeland. For Reedy, scoring was balanced: Kai Johnson led with 23 points, Joshua Johnson added 19, Lincoln Harn scored 17, Dylan Morris finished with 11 and JonMichael Starr chipped in 10. The distribution underscores the contrast between Wakeland’s heavy reliance on Thornton and Reedy’s multi-pronged attack.

Statistically, the game illustrates how momentum and depth matter in high school basketball. Reedy’s 25-point first quarter gave them a buffer to absorb Wakeland’s third-quarter surge, while the 29-point fourth quarter demonstrated stamina and execution down the stretch. Wakeland’s 28-point third quarter showed offensive potential, but the rest of the game’s splits reveal a team that struggled to find additional scoring support beyond Thornton.

For Collin County fans and families, the game is a snapshot of both teams’ trajectories this season. Reedy’s balance could translate to more consistent outcomes across district play, while Wakeland’s coaching staff faces a clear task: find secondary scorers to complement Thornton’s elite production. The result also keeps local bragging rights active in the Frisco high school scene and will shape practice plans and rotations in the coming week.

The outcome matters for momentum and morale as both programs press into the heart of their schedules. Reedy leaves with renewed confidence and depth validation, and Wakeland returns to the drawing board with a standout individual performance to build around.
