A feisty cat fight will be fought when the Wilby Wildcats duke it out with the Masuk Panthers at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday... Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.

They took their matchup with ease, bagging a 57-8 victory over Kennedy. That looming 57-8 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for the Wildcats yet this season.

The team also got some help courtesy of Joi Jackson, who posted nine points in addition to seven assists and four steals.
