On Saturday, the Lady Wildcats traveled to Williams where they met up with the 11th ranked team in 1A, the Lady Vikings. Williams took the lead early with 17 points in the first frame. The Wildcats netted six in the first and five in the second, but trailed 35-11 at the break. The third period was the best of the New Year for the Lady Wildcats with them pouring in 13 total points. Williams went on to win the game 61-27, thanks in part to them shooting 71 percent from behind the three-point line making good on five of their seven attempts.
