🏀 Wildcat Boys Basketball traveled to St. James tonight and came up short in both games. Not the results we hoped for, but our Wildcats continue to compete and grow with every game. Keep working, keep battling, and keep believing. 🐾
🏀🏀The Ladycats competed against St. James as part of a 4-game night. Both JV & Varsity fell to the Lady Tigers in physical contests. They will play again tomorrow night at home.

⚫️Tonight, we recognized an extraordinary performance by Karson Walker, one that will stand in the history books.
🟠On January 10th against Alton at the Mountain View Liberty Shoot-Out,
Karson broke the Licking all-time career game scoring record held by
Mr. Dale Stanley, finishing with 54 points—a mark that represents not
just one incredible night, but years of dedication, preparation, and
relentless work.
⚫️That night was nothing short of historic. Karson set the Licking
single-game record with 12 three-point shots made in one game, and added
31 points in a single half, showcasing his ability to take over a game in every way
possible.
🟠His performance places him among the elite across the state:
• Tied for 27th in total points in a game
• Tied for 15th with 18 field goals made
• Tied for 20th with 32 field goals attempted
• 23rd in single-game three-point percentage, shooting an
incredible 12 of 16 from three for 75%
• Tied for 24th with 16 three-point attempts
• 31st with 17 points in one quarter
⚫️Congratulations to Karson Walker on a truly historic night and an unforgettable achievement!

🏀🩷The Licking Lady Cats hosted the Plato Lady Eagles tonight in a great night of basketball. Our JV Lady Cats battled hard and just barely fell in a tough two-quarter game. The Varsity team then took the floor and came out strong, securing a big win for the Lady Cats!
Tonight was about more than basketball, though. After 10 years, the Eden Bisker Memorial Girls Traveling Trophy officially retired. Eden’s father and brother shared heartfelt gratitude for the continued love and support shown by the Licking and Plato communities in Eden’s memory, and for everyone who has been impacted by cancer.🩷
