  • Wildcats finish season strong

    The Henry County Wildcats jumped on the host Trimble County Raiders early on Feb. 18 and then cruised to a 67-57 win.

    “We got up on them pretty good early,” Coach Enoch Welch said. “We executed well on offense and our defensive schemes were working.”

    The Raiders got their offense going by hitting four 3-pointers in the second period to win the quarter 20-18.

    The Eminence Warriors girls’ basketball team traveled to Louisville on Feb. 18 to take on Whitefield Academy where a slow start and pressure defense by the Lady Wildcats spelled doom for the young Warrior team. Whitefield came out on top 39-14.
    “We started out okay,” Coach Zach Adair said. “It was only 2-0 after three or four minutes but their 2-2-1 full court press started to cause us problems. We made one mistake and then it turned into two then three or four and the game got away from us.”
