The Bearcats girls started the week with three games on the docket. They were able to get their first two contests played and in the books on Monday, Dec. 12 and Tuesday, Dec. 13 but then Mother Nature took over and brought the week to a screeching halt.
The Monday night matchup brought the Climax-Fisher Knights to town. The first half was an evenly played contest with the two teams exchanging leads on a number of occasions. KCC’s full-court defense kept pressure on the Knights and made every possession high-paced and intense. The Bearcats poured in 43 first-half points, but Climax-Fisher answered with 39 of their own to keep the game very much in balance with a 43-39 halftime lead for KCC.
