JV boys hoops team sweeps another series, captures 11th conference victory

by Dillon Cooper

The Pittsford Wildcats, who were coming off of a huge victory against Litchfield, were focused on their next opponent: the Hillsdale Academy Colts. The first meeting ended with a very high scoring affair but very poor ball control, which led to quick points for the Colts, who kept the game within twenty points in the second half. Nevertheless this match up would be a redemption act for the Wildcats as they set out to prove that they could do much better than what they showed on that hardwood. The ‘Cats would prove that they were still, obviously, the superior team, winning this match 51-26.

The game would start off really slowly and with the Academy scoring very few times as the Wildcats looked to run early and often. Changing defenses from full court, to half court, to half court traps among other concepts that confused the star-stricken Colts. “We really hustled all over the place,” recalled sophomore leader Kyle Wyatt. The Wildcats would only lead by a few points at the half, giving up seventeen points, but in the last 68 ticks P-ford went on a run to be up twenty-seven to seventeen. “We gave up seventeen points in the first half and that wasn’t like us,” continued Wyatt.

The men in blue would come out of the locker room with confidence and would build up a lead that submerged the Academy and sealed a Wildcat victory.

Even though the Wildcats came up on top in this affair they are going to have to go back to that very familiar friend, the road, and travel to Tekonsha to take on the Indians. This will be a test for the Wildcats but a test that should result in a great outcome for Pittsford and extend their conference record to 12-1!
