‘Cats enjoy first win
HAMILTON — With seven games in the first 18 days of the regular season, Bill Slagle and the Springfield Wildcats boys basketball team are already looking to their next contest, a home game with Springboro.
But the Wildcats can celebrate their first win on Sunday, Dec. 7. They beat host Hamilton 67-61 on Saturday.
Akeem Freeman had 18 points and nine rebounds in the win, while Zac Burks had a team-high 21 points.
“It was a good team effort,” Slagle said. “We got contributions from everyone who came in the game.”
Slagle said the tough early schedule is helping his team come together.
“It’s like the we tell the kids: ‘The next play is the most important one’,” Slagle said. “Well, the next game is the most important one for us right now. It’s really helping the kids jell. Last night was tough. It’s difficult playing back-to-back, especially with the long drive, but we handled it well.”
