The #5 ranked Wildcats Basketball Team scrimmaged McKinney Boyd and Frisco Liberty at McKinney Boyd Saturday (November 9). The Wildcats played two halves against each team. Wildcats Coach Clark Cipoletta said he thought the Wildcats perhaps won three of the four halves. He said he saw good and bad during the scrimmage. Coach Cipoletta said the Wildcats played really good during the first couple of halves but then dragged a little. He said the Wildcats have things to work on. Ironically Coach Cipoletta said the Wildcats did not do some things as well as he thought they could but he added they also did some thing better than he thought they could. He said Day Day Hall played consistently. Senior Justin Brock, a former SSISD student who moved away several years ago but now is back, shot the ball well according to Coach Cip. He said Boo Wilkerson and Grayson McClure were pretty solid. He said Cameron Kahn played well and he said Justin Haire stepped back and hit a three. Coach Cipoletta said the Wildcats need to handle pressure better and take better care of the ball. He said the Wildcats also need to guard players better. Coach Cipoletta said right now the offense is ahead of the defense. Tuesday at Mesquite Poteet, the Wildcats will scrimmage the host team and Tyler Lee. The Wildcats open the regular season Saturday against Decatur, the #7 ranked team in Class 4A, at 11 a.m. in North Crowley in the Cowtown Showdown.
