- It’s time to show your Wolf Pack Pride!! A pair of WMS sports will be “throwing down” after school today — and the teams need your support! First up, the Boys Wrestling team looks to “take down” the competition at their first match of the year — hosting Kenmore Middle in the WMS gym. And the Girls Basketball team is also matching up against Kenmore — as they’ll be looking for their first win on the road. Let’s be sure to pack the stands and root our teams to victory. “Be a Part of the Pride, Williamsburg!!”
