MHS - Women's Basketball / January 21, 2024 By Kasey McDowell
The Mulvane girl's basketball team hosted a very tough Clearwater team last Tuesday, January 16th for a non-league matchup against the Indians. Clearwater jumped out ahead in the first half 25-19, but the Wildcats came out in the second half and played terrific defense to keep the Indians at bay, allowing only 16 points in the second half. Clearwater's top scorer scored all her 12 points in the first half and the Wildcats kept her at zero points in the second half. Teagan Garrison led the girls with 15 points in the game and Olivia Ellis broke into double digits with 13 points. Ashley Young led the girls on the boards with 7 rebounds.
The JV team faced a tough Clearwater team and the game came down to just a few points and the girls fell 27-31. The Cats and Clearwater were tied after the first quarter 7-7. The Cats lost the second quarter and were behind at halftime 11-15. The teams tied in the second half and the Cats couldn't make up the 4 points. Kylie Schwanke led the Cats with 11 points on the evening.
