But aside from the good shooting numbers, as head coach Nick Peasley told Raccoon Valley Radio, the biggest strength for his team heading into the break is actually their team chemistry.

“The biggest thing I like about this team is coming together with their relationships, their effort and their toughness. You know our bench, a lot of people don’t look at that with our bench carrying the games and how we get excited for each other. That’s the one thing that’s huge for us and I’ve really enjoyed with this group,” explained coach Peasley.

The Wildcats get a chance to rest up and regroup before they are back at it again for a steep January 3rd contest traveling to square off against unbeaten Des Moines Christian.
