Wildcat varsity boys basketball squad caps off a perfect 20-0 season with rout of Hudson

by Justin Fish

Never in Pittsford school history has a basketball team gone 20-0. The Wildcats would make history by beating the Hudson Tigers, 63-42.

There were many things that pushed the Wildcats over the top to win at home but there were some major reasons. “I thought that the really big difference between us and Hudson was the fact that we were in our building. Our crowd was amazing, the students turned out in a big way. I can’t think of many times where there were so many people in this building; it was an electric atmosphere,” commented Coach Burger. “I also think that Hudson is very athletic. They have good shooters, they are big, and I think that is what caused us the problems, but we just fed off the energy, and our intensity level just pushed us over the top,” remarked Coach Burger.

Juniors Seth Weber and Garet Lee combined for a total of 40 points Friday night. Weber led the team with a season high 21 points, and Lee followed closely with 19.

The Cats’ will begin district play tomorrow night (Wednesday, March 11) at 7:30 p.m. in Hudson, against the Tigers again. The winner will play for the district title at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, March 13.
