Bearcats Volunteer Time To Help Out Community

Our boys basketball program spent Saturday morning helping out the Whitesboro Ministeral Alliance gather and hand out food to community members at the First Baptist Church. This is the 3rd year that our boys have helped out and they have done an outstanding job. I am very proud of these guys and their willingness to help others. I am also blessed to live in a community of such caring people. I hope everyone has a Happy Holiday and Merry Christmas.

Whitesboro falls to Whitewright

The Bearcats dropped a tough one Friday night to the visiting Whitewright Tigers. It was a defensive battle for most of the night with both teams struggling to score. Tyrone Swoopes from Whitewright did most of the scoring in the second half and proved to be the difference in the game. Whitewright won 47-37. Trey Eleazer scored 12 points for the Bearcats while Matt Hobbs added 10. Collin Kilcrease scored 8 points and Cameron Clark finished with 5 points. It was a tough night on the offensive side. Whitesboro could not match a 3rd quarter run by Whitewright where Swoopes hit 3 3 point baskets. Whitesboro managed to score only 7 points in the quarter. The Bearcats had plenty of opportunities and looks at the basket but could not finish. It was a disappointing loss because we fought so hard on the defensive side. The Bearcats travel to Muenster on Monday looking to rebound.

BEARCATS TAKE CARE OF ANNA

Whitesboro traveled to Anna last night and put together a solid performance coming away with a 61-48 win. Matt Hobbs led all scorers with 16 points. He also had 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals in the win. Cameron Clark chipped in 11 points and went 6-6 from the FTL. John Wood added 10 points and 4 rebounds. Jordan Gill finished with 7 points, but was very dominant on the boards grabbing 10 rebounds. Jordan played a solid ballgame. Collin Kilcrease was another dominant player on the boards grabbing 9 rebounds and scoring 4 points. Troy Willis scored 6 points, Mitch Krueger scored 5 points, and Ryan Harbin and Grayson Ezzell each had 1 point each. A key in the win was that Whitesboro limited their turnovers and executed in the half court game offensively. Great Win!

Matt averaged 17 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists at the Fairfield Tournament this past week.

John also had 4 of our 15 assists. Grayson Ezzell finally had a breakout game in the paint and started the Bearcat comeback. Matt Hobbs finished 50% from the 3 pt line hitting 4 of 8.

Friday wasn't as pleasant for the Bearcats who lost to Waco High 70-42. The Bearcats had a hard time handling the pressure defense from Waco and had a season high 32 turnovers. Matt Hobbs scored 13 points, Collin Kilcrease scored 8 points, Jordan Gill had 6 points, Cameron Clark had 5 points, Mitch Krueger and John Wood scored 4 points, and Ryan Harbin scored 2 points.

Saturday didn't get much better for the Bearcats. Whitesboro dug a hole early against a fast start Corsicana team. Not getting to the perimeter shooters and closing out proved to be costly to the Cats. They trailed at half 33-17. Whitesboro mounted a second half comeback but came up just a little short losing 60-51. Matt Hobbs led in scoring with 20 points and had 6 3 pointers. Jordan Gill finished with 8 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists. Mitch Krueger and Ryan Harbin finished with 5 points. John Wood finished with 4 points, Troy Willis finished with 3 points, Cameron Clark, Grayson Ezzell, and Collin Kilcrease finished with 2 points.
