The Wildcats hosted Augusta on Tuesday, December 17th and the teams started very close in the first quarter, but a tough second quarter found the Cats down 22-33 at halftime. The Cats were able to keep the score close but fell in the end 54-64. Canon Lazier led the Wildcats with 23 points in the game and Canon and Braylon Barnes led the Cats in rebounds with 6 each.
