Wildcat Basketball …

It was not a good two-game streak for the Wildcats, as the Cats, followed up the Saturday game loss with one on Tuesday versus Glen Rose (16-4). And, this one probably hurt more because it was by just one, 49-48. Kennedale is now 18-5 for the year.
That game went something like this – the Cats won the first two quarters by one, Glen Rose tied it up in the third by winning by a margin of two, and then the Tigers picked up the win by the margin of one.
For the game against Glen Rose, both Wildcats Jordan Miller and Christion Whitaker had 12 points, Austin Pickett 8, Tyler Choice 7, Rishaun Gipson 6, Breylen Harris 4, Landon Brooks 2, and Tristan Lewis 2.
