Coach Brandon Shaver’s team makes a long-awaited return home Friday, Jan. 20 when they host North Lamar.
Sulphur Springs hopes to keep their momentum going as they are already 2-0 in district play after shellacking Liberty Eylau on Tuesday 72-47.
The Wildcats got off to a fast start and never looked back, leading big at the half 42-22. Sulphur Springs scoring that many points in the first half was only five points less than the Leopards scored in the entirety of Tuesday’s home loss to the Wildcats.
Tuesday’s victory in Texarkana was never in question for men’s basketball as they led early 19-13 after one.
If that wasn’t enough, the Wildcats raced past that point total, scoring 23 points as the game was effectively over at the half.
Halfway into the third Coach Shaver pulled his starters as his team lead by 30, 58-28. From there the men’s basketball team cruised to a demolishing win over L.E. 72-47.
Parker Whisenhunt and Kordrick Turner both had huge games in the beatdown of the Leopards, scoring 18 on Tuesday.
The only other player to end in double figures was another senior, Malachi Myles, who put up 12 in the victory.
From there it was Branson Lynn (eight), Theo Mckelvey (five), with Gavin White and DJ Wilkerson scoring four in the win. Rounding out scoring in the big night for the Wildcats was Cole Theofiledes with a three-pointer made in the first.
The win on Tuesday, Jan. 17 brings Sulphur Springs season record to 20-7 overall (2-0 district). Remaining undefeated after the win at Liberty Eylau, men’s basketball stays at least tied for first in 15-4A.
But after starting their district season with two games on the road Coach Shaver and his team next host North Lamar. Friday’s home game versus the Panthers is the first home district contest for the men’s basketball team.
That game tips off on Friday, Jan. 20 at 7:30 P.M.
Friday’s home district match-up with North Lamar will be broadcasted onto KSST 1230 AM. That game will also be live-streamed onto KSST Radio’s Youtube channel.
