It was the final event of Catholic Schools Week and with free admission for WACS students, the gym was packed.  The small gym was opened for kids to play hoops and runaround.

“We are very excited that our 8 game winning streak has put us in position to play for first place tonight at Caledonia. We know going on the road to face them will be a great test, but we are confident because we are playing our best basketball of the season. We have  four players who are consistent scorers and we have a good feel for what Caledonia will try and do against us,” said Cotter coach Pat Bowlin.

“Caledonia is also playing good basketball and is tough to beat on their home floor. I am expecting a very intense and close game,” Bowlin added
