By Greg Perkins The Lady Wildcats defeated Northland Prep 46-34 last Thursday in Joseph City. Alicia Chavez was aggressive going to the bucket in the game, earning her a trip to the free throw line for 10 charity tosses. She made good on eight of those 10, which helped her lead the Cats in scoring with 14 points. Alyssa Hutchens nailed two shots from distance for six points. With the win the Wildcats improved to 9-10 on the season. They entered this week’s action ranked 25th in the Division V power point standings with a 5-4 regular season mark. After hosting Piñon on Tuesday, the Wildcats will travel to Valley Sanders on Thursday, Jan. 21. On Saturday, Jan. 23, they are slated to host Fredonia, then they will hit the road on Tuesday, Jan. 26, for a trip to Red Mesa. Their scheduled game with St. Michaels last Friday was postponed and will be made up at a yet to be determined date. The Cats need to get into the top 24 in the power point standings to reach the state tournament.
