Varsity boys hoops team reaches 17-0 after dismantling Tekonsha

by Justin Fish

The Wildcats went on their second-to-last road game of the regular season to take on the Tekonsha Indians. The game didn’t go as planned for the Wildcats as they were behind for portions of the game, but they were able to come out victorious at the end. In a game of controversial calls and inappropriate behavior by one Tekonsha player, Wildcats came out victorious, 59-49.

There were three players scoring in double digits for the ‘Cats. Juniors Seth Weber and Garet Lee each had 18 points, while Lee pulled down 20 rebounds and Weber dished out five assists. Junior Wes Smith also reached double-figures, scoring 14 points while going 4-8 from the 3-point line.

“They (Tekonsha) played really tough zone defense and we didn’t shoot well,” commented Coach Burger. Being this late in the season and still being undefeated is an accomplishment. “I don’t feel any pressure doing that. We never thought about that [earlier in the season]…We have accomplished a lot and our major goal was to win the league championship and we’ve done that. Everything else after we do is just extra…just gravy,” added Coach Burger.

The Wildcats play Tuesday on the road again, taking on Battle Creek St. Philip for their last road game of the regular season.
