The Mulvane Wildcats Women's basketball team grabbed their second win of the season after defeating the Clearwater Indians this past Monday. The Wildcats came out strong in the 1st quarter and outscored the Indians 13-2. Clearwater came back with a decent 2nd quarter and outscored the Cats 8-3, so the Wildcats had a 16-10 halftime lead. A great 14-6 3rd quarter for the Cats gave them a solid 30-16 lead going into the 4th quarter. An even 15-15 4th quarter gave the Cats a 45-31 victory.
Senior Keera Parks lead the Cats with 17 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal. Junior Carson White dropped in 10 points and had 2 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal.

Senior Alicia Almirante finished with 5 points, 4 reb, and 4 steals. Avery Dillon dropped in 3 points, and Seniors Grace Myears and Mady Tharp finished with 2 points each.
