Despite the lopsided score, the Wildcats energy level didn’t dissipate. On the night, the Wildcats were led in the box score by Senior Tyler Pendergast who had 11 on the night, including two buckets from beyond the arc. Other top scorers for Mogadore included Landen Williams with 9 and Jordan Smith with 7.
