The season of the Whiteoak Wildcats came to a close on Wednesday night with the ’Cats dropping a Division IV Sectional Semifinal game to the South Webster Jeeps by a 65-46 score at Northwest High School.

For the Wildcats (5-18), they had a tough first frame, trailing by a 16-4 score, and from there had to play catch-up for the next three frames.

In the second, WHS was outscored, 19-9 for a halftime deficit of 35-13. The second half was a lot closer for the Wildcats, as they lost the third frame by just a single point at 12-11, and in the fourth they outscored the Jeeps, 22-18, but the big-scoring quarter was too late.
