For the first half of the #4 ranked Wildcats Basketball Team’s home game against McKinney North Monday evening, January 13, the Bulldogs deliberate offense looked to be a key to success.

During the second half, the Wildcats got some key steals, pounded the offensive glass and most importantly turned up the defensive pressure. As a result, the Wildcats yielded only 4 third quarter points and 4 more in the fourth quarter to take a 40-29 victory at the main gym at Sulphur Springs High School Monday night.
