Kokomo put another one in the bag on Saturday to keep their perfect season alive. They walked away with a 67-57 win over the Lebanon Tigers. The 67-point effort marked the Wildkats' lowest-scoring contest of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Kokomo to victory, but perhaps none more so than Korbyn Hammel, who went 6 for 12 on his way to 17 points in addition to six assists and six boards. The team also got some help courtesy of Zion Bellamy, who posted 16 points and four steals.
When it comes to explaining why Lebanon lost, don't look at Colin Fouts. Despite the final result, he went 11 of 13 on his way to 26 points and six rebounds. That's the most boards Fouts has posted since back in December of 2023. Kaden Lark was another key player, going 5 of 12 on his way to 14 points along with eight boards and five assists.
