Hockey The Wildcats 2017-18 Regional Tour took its last regular season stop this past weekend. The Cats went to Canada for the Barrow Tourney. The Cats fell to Levis College in a close game Friday with their lone goal coming off the sick of Camden Kurtz. Eric Lile and Joey Trobenter lifted the boys up by two on St. Michael’s Ontario before a two goal comeback by the Shamrocks and an OT goal. Saturday night the Cats lost to Upper Canada College in a game that got away from the Cats fast. The regular season ended on a positive note when Benny Savarino got a shutout and Santino Pignatiello, Rory Zawadzki, Charlie Klenkar, and Alex Bilardo provided goals in the 4-0 win over Everest Academy. The Cats close the regular season 24-8-2. The Cats begin post season play against the winner of Brecksville and Brooklyn.

Basketball The Wildcats took the floor twice this weekend, once and home and once on the road. On Friday night, the ‘Cats travelled to St. Edward for a rematch with the Eagles. The team fought very hard, battling not only the relentless Eagles but also Mother Nature, as most of the team was under the weather, and dropped the game by a score of 85-67. Senior Neeko Melendez had 19 points including 5 three balls, while Josh Ozanne had 13 points. On Saturday, the Wildcats welcomes the Beechwood Bison to Sullivan Gym for Senior Night and Safety Forces Night. With most of the team still battling illness, the 64-62 victory over the Bison was one of toughness and mental fortitude. Senior Jon Barnes led the Wildcats with 17 points while fellow senior Dom DiNunzio finished with 5 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists. The Basketball ‘Cats are back in action in Massillon on Saturday to take on the Massillon Washington High School Tigers. Tip off is at 7:30. Go Cats!
