JV boys hoops continues its winning ways with two conference wins

by Dillon Cooper

On a day that had never reached above zero degrees on the thermostat, the Pittsford Wildcats would yet again be on the road to a conference rival. The opponent was a local team, the Colts of Hillsdale Academy. Pittsford would come out on top with the highest point total of the season, a 68-59 win.

The Wildcats would start the game on a 10-0 run but the Colts would quickly stampede back, even though they had never once acquired that sacred lead. The Colts would narrow the lead down to a mere four points before Pittsford got the message to step up their game. “We kept running up and down the court at a faster pace than what we should have been,” said sophomore captain Robby Wheeler. Pittsford would receive the message and respond with a run as they would once again avoid fate and win the game.

After the victory, Pittsford was 4-2 overall and 4-0 in conference play. On Monday night the Wildcats again, this time beating Tekonsha, and improved to 5-2 overall and 5-0 in conference play… details on the game are coming soon!
