Tuesday night is always a great night for basketball and this Tuesday was no exception. Perhaps the best games, and the most significant, were the matches between McIntosh and Whitewater.

The Lady Chiefs (4-1) defeated the Lady Wildcats (1-5) 44-38. McIntosh was led by 15 points from Erin Justice and 14 points from Elyse Chubb, while Whitewater got 12 points from Cortney Walker. In the boys game, the Chiefs (1-4) once again bult a lead by the half, this time the lead was eight points, but Whitewater (4-2) scrapped their way back and the two teams exchanged the lead for much of the fourth quarter. The Chiefs’ KC Erickson hit a jumper with 10 seconds remaining to give McIntosh a one point lead. The Wildcats got the ball to Zach Scurry for a last second shot, which went in, for the win. Scurry finished with 15 points and six rebounds, while Vaughn Page had 13 points for the Chiefs.
