It was a proper cat-fight when Hendersonville challenged Patton on Tuesday. The Hendersonville Bearcats claimed a resounding 83-40 win over the Patton Panthers. The Bearcats have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 13 matches by 20 points or more this season.

Hendersonville's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Martiste Mills, who went 9-for-13 to rack up 18 points along with eight assists and seven steals. Mills has been hot for a while, having posted two or more steals the last 13 times he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Caden Thomas, who went 10-for-13 on his way to 20 points and seven rebounds.

Hendersonville smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 15 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least 13 offensive boards in nine consecutive games.

Hendersonville has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 11 of their last 12 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 78.8 points over those games. Patton's defeat dropped their record down to 10-16.

Coming up, Hendersonville will take on R-S Central at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. R-S Central will roll in looking for their fourth straight victory, something Hendersonville surely won't give up without a fight. Patton does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
