Wildcats win tough and grueling battle over the Spartans to improve to 12-0

by Justin Fish

In a very physical game, the Wildcats kept on rolling to stay unbeaten by beating the Waldron Spartans by a score of 58-43.

The game was a neck-and-neck contest leaving the Wildcats up 26-21 at the half. In the fourth quarter, however, their offense clicked a bit more to spread the margin of victory out to 15 points. Junior Garet Lee had another big night with 25 points and 18 rebounds and 2 blocks while senior Clark Pelham went 4-5 from the three point line for a total of 19 points and three assists. Senior Corey Gamble chipped in eight points. “Some of the key factors in winning the game were our keeping composure under duress and I thought that we made some key offensive plays, timely shooting. I thought that Garet stepped up big, and Pelham and Gamble had big threes late in the game which pushed us over the edge,” commented Coach Burger on the game.

The Wildcats’ next game is Tuesday, February 10, against Burr Oak on their home court.
