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.
