Winning season is clinched in home blowout for JV Wildcat hoops team

by Dillon Cooper

The Pittsford Wildcats, who were just coming off of a heart-breaking loss to Jackson Christian, were playing at home against a team that they had beaten earlier on the road by over twenty points. The visitor, the Terriers of Litchfield, were left a sub-par ball club thanks to academics and players getting into trouble with the school. Nevertheless the ‘Cats would come up on top with magnificent 72-23 victory.

Litchfield would chalk up a quick two points in their favor but soon the Wildcats would start unloading from three with freshman Drew McOscar sinking five triples within the span of a quarter. “I just got hot,” said McOscar with a smile. Every Wildcat had his way in contributing towards the team, who were all destined to have the same goal: to produce a blow-out victory in front of their loyal family and friends! At half the Wildcats were up 45-10 and the order was to work the offense and get a good shot; don’t force anything into a bad situation, just get lay-ups or simple, wide-open J’s. The second half continued with much of the same result. The Wildcats got easy baskets and fast-break points that lead to a big deficit.

With a win last night the Wildcats secure a guaranteed .500 season which is good news! They are currently 10-5 overall and have five games left in their season. The men in blue will play another home game against the Hillsdale Academy Colts, which will hopefully be a replay of this game!
