The Wildcats beat out the Stuarts Draft Cougars for their 6th consecutive victory Jan. 11. 

With many team members out sick, the remaining ‘Cats had to pick up the extra slack. Head Coach Robert Winfield could not even make it for the match at Stuarts Draft High School due to illness so the retired head coach, Daryll Plogger, stepped in to coach the ‘Cats to a victory. The final score proved that they battled for every point in order to secure the win 

Since 6 ‘5 junior center  Milo Mulitalo was not at the game because of illness, junior forward Keaton Owsley secured the tip off which started the Wildcats out strong. 

Senior guard Andre Poindexter reported on the game. 

“The first half was really solid, and then we had a very bad second half,” said Poindexter. “Brandon, Keaton, and Matt came back at the end to make some clutch free throws.” 

Even though the second half was a rollercoaster, senior Forward Brandon Mays also had some comments on the game. 

“Near the end of the game they started trapping us and shutting us down,” said Mays. “It was crucial to keep putting up shots and to make our free throws.” 

The ‘Cats are taking on the Spotswood Blazers on Jan. 13 at home.
