The Old Lyme Wildcats couldn’t get going last night in their Shoreline Conference game against Haddam-Killingworth and, although they never lost the lead during the first half, there were rarely more than a few points between the teams. The half ended with the ‘Cats just two points ahead at 16-14 and the game apparently wide open.
But the boys came out of the locker room after the half time team talk by Coach Kirk Kaczor like a team reborn. Urged on by their army of fans led by the inimitable Sam Stadnick at the front (see photo above), the Wildcats started scoring like it was their business and by the end of a frenetic third quarter had scored more than twice as many points as H-K with 14 to the Cougars six.
The Cougars started to come back in the fourth quarter scoring a healthy 18 points, but the Wildcats still banked 16 to enable them to secure a comfortable victory and retain their clean slate in the conference.
George Logan finished with 15 points and 10 assists, while Matti Fuller netted a total of 12 points, nine coming in the second half.
The Wildcats play at home again tomorrow, Saturday, Jan. 5, against Portland at 7 p.m.
Go Wildcats!
