A team effort led to a win over Breckinridge County in day two of the Rafferty's/Double Dogs Caveland Classic with nine different Wildcats earning spots in the scoring book and four Cats earning double figures.

The Wildcats jumped out early with transition buckets and easy looks around the rim. They led 46-28 at the half. Despite a tough comeback effort by the Tigers in the fourth quarter, as they cut the lead to single digits, the Cats were able to hold on for an 83-73 win.

It was the right night for Braden Wright, who led the way early with 15 points in the first half and finished with 23 points and 5 rebounds. Blayne Deweese notched a double-double with 15 points and 13 rebounds. Aidan Meredith and Owen Ruth each added 11 points while Tyler Wilson put up 7, Daylen Cook and Jonah Massey each added 5, and Sawyer Simmons and Blake Head had 3 apiece.

The Cats have won four consecutive games and are now 6-3 on the season. They are scheduled to take on Clinton County at home today at 5PM for the final day of the Raffery's/Double Dogs Caveland Classic.
