The 2017 version of the LadyKats may miss the explosive scoring power of SMU freshman Allie Thornton but that has not stopped the winning thanks to a smothering defense and timely kicks.
For the 2017 Wildcats, the seniors who have stuck with the program through thick and thin, are proud on the win and they think there will be more like it in district play.
