On January 7, 2025, the Wildcats opened the second semester of basketball by traveling to Canute. The Class B 6th ranked Lady Wildcats had a hot start in the first quarter with an 8 point lead but went into halftime behind by 2. In the second half, the Class A 6th ranked Canute Lady Trojens pulled away to a 58-46 win over the Lady Wildcats. In the boy’s game, the Wildcats had an 11 point lead at halftime, 34-23, but Canute came on strong in the second half and came away with a one point win.
Next up for the Wildcats was the Oil Center Classic Tournament in Woodward. The boy’s team opened the tournament with a convincing 57-24 win over the Beaver Dusters. The Lady Wildcats were scheduled to play Goodwell in the first round but due to weather conditions, Goodwill was forced to forfeit the game allowing the Lady Wildcats to move on to the second round. Friday’s games were moved to Saturday; look for results of the tournament in next week’s paper.
