The Lady Wildcats played just once last week picking up a 63-15 home court win over an overmatched Superior Panthers team. The Ladies jumped out early to a 23-4 first-period lead then extended it to 32-8 at the half. In the third period, they outscored Superior by 10, then in the final eight minutes, Joseph City kept the Panthers off the scoreboard.
Kadence Armstrong led the team in scoring with 18 points. Gabrielle Jesmer added 11; Kate Edwards, 9; Abigayle Smith, 8; Cyerra Yazzie, 4; Brenlee Hutchens, 4; April Neil, 2; Ava Neil, 2; Klydie Miller, 2; and Raylee Fish 2 and Audrey Neil helped with a single point.
With the win, Joseph City improved its overall season record to 17-6 and their regular season mark moved to 10-2. They enter this week ranked fourth in 1A. After hosting Cibecue on Monday, the team will travel to face third-ranked Fort Thomas on Tuesday. On Wednesday they will host Hopi, then remain home on Thursday to welcome in a struggling Hayden team. Next Monday, fifth ranked Williams will come to town, then on Tuesday the Cats will close out the regular season when they host rival Mogollon.
