The Wake Forest Demon Deacon sports blog where Charlie Brown is still trying to kick that football...
The 2026 Wake Forest Baseball season officially got underway last weekend, with Wake Forest going 2-1 in the 2026 Puerto Rico Challenge. The Deacs dropped their opening game against Houston, but bounced back to beat both Washington and Indiana State. The season got off to a tough start on Friday morning with an 8-2 loss […]
The Deacs are on a winning streak! After falling behind by as much as 9 in the 2nd half, Wake Forest battled back to take down the Cardinal and pickup their first home win since January 3rd. The win gives Wake their 2nd straight and moves them to 4-8 in the ACC, well within striking […]

The Deacs are finally off the schneid. After losing their last 5 games and going nearly an entire month without a win, Wake Forest got back in the win column tonight after taking care of a pretty bad Georgia Tech team 83-67. The game ended pretty late, so this recap is going to be pretty […]

Another game in the Joel, another loss for the Demon Deacons. It wasn’t that long ago that Wake Forest had one of the best home records in the country—now, the Deacs have fallen to 1-4 in the ACC at home and have lost 4 straight in the Joel. With the loss, the Deacs are now […]

In a battle of two teams trending in opposite directions, the Deacs were blown out on their home court yet again, this time by the NC State Wolfpack by a score of 96-78. This one was a wire-to-wire beatdown, as Wake only managed to lead the game for a whopping 32 seconds after making the […]

Wake Forest starting point guard Nate Calmese suffered a grade 3 ankle sprain in Saturday’s game against Pitt, per Steve Forbes. According to Harvard Medical School, a grade 3 sprain constitutes as: “Full tear or rupture. Severe pain, swelling, tenderness, and bruising. Considerable instability, loss of function and range of motion. Unable to bear weight […]
Well, if there was any hope of the Deacs climbing back onto the bubble by March, it is officially gone. Not only did Wake fall apart down the stretch and lose to one of the worst teams in the ACC, but they also lost their starting point guard and arguably their most important player when […]

For the 27th year in a row, the Deacs will be leaving Cameron Indoor Stadium with a loss. The 69-90 blowout at the hands of the Blue Devils marks the 2nd straight blowout loss for the Deacs, and moves Wake Forest to 11-9 overall and 2-5 in the conference. Early on, it looked like the […]

This was a late game, and I really don’t have anything to good to say about what we just watched, so this one is going to be pretty quick. The Deacs were absolutely outclassed on their home court by the SMU Mustangs, who dominated Wake to the tune of 91-79. The final score really doesn’t […]

Nate Calmese saving the Deacs is starting to become a trend this season. After trailing for nearly the entire second half, Calmese’s contested floater with just 6 seconds remaining in the game gave Wake a 1-point lead and eventually the win over the Florida State Seminoles by a score of 69-68. This was definitely a […]

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons men’s soccer team will be more than happy to ring in the new year after what was a challenging 2025 season. Coming off of an ACC Championship and a run to the NCAA Quarterfinals in 2024, the Deacs opened the season at #6 in the United Soccer Coaches Poll and […]
In what has been the story of the season so far, the Deacs came within seconds of pulling off a big upset win against a ranked team, only to come up short in the end. Despite trailing for nearly the entire game, Wake had a chance at the buzzer to send the game to OT, […]

If you weren’t concerned with which team won, that was probably an incredibly entertaining game to watch. This was a back and forth affair that went right down to the wire, with both Miami and Wake trading baskets and leads for nearly the entire game. Unfortunately, we do care who won, so none of that […]

After an impressive 9-4 season that ended with a win over Mississippi State in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl, we have officially reached the offseason. That means its time for what I think many would consider the worst part of the current era of college sports—the transfer portal. We clearly have a problem with the sports […]
This one was big for the Deacs. I said after the NC State game that the next game was crucial for a team that looked like it was losing its confidence, and Wake was up for the challenge. The game went right down to the final possession, but the Deacs were able to pull it […]
