By Greg Perkins The Lady Wildcats of Joseph City closed out their season last week with three consecutive losses. Their initial loss on Tuesday was a hard fought, double overtime loss to Cibecue. Joseph City led 20-15 at the half, but needed a pair of three-point shots late in the fourth to force the first overtime with the score knotted at 42-42. The Cats hit a lay up with five seconds left in the first overtime to force the second overtime period. In the second extra session they finally ran out of magic, succumbing to Cibecue 57-51. Chalet Baldwin netted 14 for Joseph City with four treys, and added 11 rebounds and seven steals. Sadie Tuckfield added 10 points, nine steals and seven assists. Morgan Johnson had 7 points with 12 rebounds. Allison Bushman finished with 10 rebounds, and Haley Edwards scored 8 points. On Friday, Joseph City was in Red Mesa, where the teams struggled to a 6-6 tie after one period of play. Red Mesa took control in the second to lead by 15 at the half. That margin grew in the second half before they shut down the Wildcats 53-32. Tuckfield led the Wildcat offense with 11 points. Bushman added 8 with seven boards, and Chalet Baldwin finished with 5 points and five rebounds. The Cats finished their season at St. Michael on Saturday, where they struggled to a 62-11 loss. Baldwin had nine rebounds and three steals. Alyssa Hutchens grabbed seven rebounds. “Our seniors this year, Sadie Tuckfield, Chalet Baldwin, Allison Bushman and Alyssa Hutchens, did an awesome job and gave us great leadership throughout the season,” said Coach Eric Miller. The Wildcats completed the season with an overall record of 10-18 and went 6-12 in power point contests.
