If Wilby was riding high fresh off their 114-22 takedown of Derby last Monday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Wilby Wildcats took a 73-65 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Kennedy Eagles on Wednesday. The Wildcats were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Eagles apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in December of 2023.
Wilby has also traveled a rocky road recently having lost four of their last five games, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-6 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 71.8 points per game. As for Kennedy, their victory was their first in the league, bumping their league record up to 1-2 and their overall record up to 2-8.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Wilby will head out to take on Crosby at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Crosby knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past ten contests -- so hopefully Wilby likes a good challenge. As for Kennedy, they won't have much time to rest: their next matchup is against Ansonia at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.
