Blackford had to start their season on the road on Wednesday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They had to suffer through a 62-17 loss at the hands of the Kokomo Wildkats. The Bruins lost against the Wildkats in their previous head to head back in November of 2023, too, but the margin this time around was even wider than the 33-30 score last time.
Rylee Heiser was Blackford's leading scorer, having posted eight points.
Raegan Ridgway held things down on the boards with five rebounds.
Regan McClain was a one-man wrecking crew for Kokomo as she went 5 for 8 en route to 11 points plus eight steals. Another player making a difference was Bella Richards, who earned seven points along with five rebounds and four steals.
Blackford didn't take long to hit the court again: they've already played their next match, a 44-32 win against Cowan on the 11th. Kokomo has also already played their next game, a 54-31 victory against West Lafayette on the 12th.
