Wildcats Basketball Coach Clark Cipoletta said the game should be a good match adding that the teams are similar. He said both teams have big post players inside, both can shoot, both are athletic in spots and both have size. Coach Cipoletta predicted a grind it out kind of game like last year’s Prosper playoff game.
