WILDCATS 25, HOYAS 24

In what proved to be the Wildcats' toughest challenge to date, the team fought hard and survived a rugged battle for a 25-24 win over the Hoyas. The game was a see-saw battle that saw many lead changes, and the team trailed by one point when Hekili grabbed a rebound with seven seconds left and drove the length of the court. However, before he could shoot, the Hoyas intentionally fouled him and time expired. After conferring with the ref, he checked the rule sheet and saw that an intentional foul results in two points, which was enough to give us the win! The result was a 25-24 victory that upped the team mark to 4-0. Tyler led all scorers with 12 points, while Hekili contributed 11. Ricky also added 2 points to round out the scoring. In all sense though, this was a team victory as just about every child had a steal and/or key defensive play or rebound. I'm proud of how the boys hung together and never stopped playing hard. Good job Wildcats!!!
