A Fitting End
Last night our community celebrated the accomplishments of our senior basketball players as they competed in their last home game for the Cats. Senior nights are always filled - and rightly so - with much emotion and last night was no exception.
Our womens team entered last nights contest v. Hendersonville Christian in need of a win and a win they came away with. The Cats fell behind early, but the troops rallied behind a defensive change, quickly taking charge of the contest. Led by our seniors, the Cats played hard for four quarters -as they have all year - as they crusied to a 47-24 win.
On the boys side, the Cats found themselves down by three with six seconds to go - the situation looked bleak. However, the Cats, on senior night, refused to lose. Senior Jake Stanley received a pass with approximately with 5.4 seconds, made a move , and hit a three pointer with less than 3/10ths of a second on the clock to send the game into overtime. In overtime, the senior class showed their maturity and character as they held on for the 85-77 win.
Congrats to our seniors. What a fitting end to your home career!
