It has been an up-and-down season for the boy’s varsity basketball team. First year head coach Mark Karver has effectively utilized the team’s size and athleticism, but consistency has been a major weakness. With injuries to key players senior Harrison Gibert and junior Sean Poosson, it has been a challenge to maintain chemistry and energy throughout all four quarters. Nonetheless, the Wildcats went on a four-game winning streak in January and through 19 games held a record of 10-9. In particular, they gutted out a big win against rival B-CC.

“B-CC at home was the most significant as far as to how well we played. The second half of the B-CC game was amazing and we really showed how good we could be,” said Karver.

The experienced team now looks to make a deep playoff run, something they have not been able to do in recent years. Tonight the Wildcats tip off the playoffs against Wootton. They will rely on senior Halid Hamadi’s dominance in the paint to push this team to its full potential.
