Wildcats Basketball

January 23, 2012 - Our teams faced some tough competition this week and fought hard as a team against George Sanchez and Central Christian.

Our girls beat George Sanchez on Tuesday 34-11. They handled themselves very well against a physical and aggressive team. They were fouled a lot and held their composure at all times. They lost to Central Christian 47-40 on Friday. I am very proud of these girls for hanging in there and chipped away at a nearly 20 point deficit at halftime.

Our boys team split into JV and Varsity squads on Tuesday against George Sanchez. JV lost 25-58 and Varsity lost 18-69 . On Friday, the boys defeated Central Christian 60-45. "We started off Tuesday kind of rough, but after a good week of practice and execution, we look like the team of old. I feel with the right amount of dedication and work we can start a winning streak", says Coach Andrews.

Both teams will be back in action on Tuesday at Lighthouse Baptist Academy at 5:00pm and 6:30pm. We also have a home game on Thursday, January 26th vs Briarwood at 4:30pm for girls and 6:00pm for boys.

Go Wildcats!
