🏀 Wildcat Basketball Celebrates a Great Homecoming Night! 🏀 What a day to be a Wildcat! Homecoming night was packed with energy from start to finish. The night began with JV Basketball battling hard but coming up short against Iberia, 47–58. Proud of the fight they showed all the way to the final buzzer. Varsity capped off the night in style, coming away with a big win over the Iberia Rangers 65-33! The day was full of unforgettable moments — a spirited pep assembly (yes, even Dr. Rinne leading the wave!), JV action, homecoming coronations, an exciting varsity game, and an outstanding halftime cheer performance. What a great ending to a great day! 🧡🖤🐾
