Eunice 35

The Wolves traveled to Eunice FRiday where they tried to improve their district slate against the Bobcats.

The Bobcats were led by Trenon Trosclair and Shon Edwards, each with eight points.

The Wolves were led with 15 points by Lacy Granger. Dannie Harmon and Ian Papillion each chipped in six points while Robert Butler donated five.
