The Paxton Bobcats just played yesterday, but they'll still head out to face the Florala Wildcats at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Hopefully Paxton focused on turnovers this week as the team gave up 15 on Thursday.

Jayden Bradberry was another key player, as he made all 6 shots he took racking up 14 points plus six rebounds and two steals.
