ROCKWALL — Denied yet again.
For the fifth time in the last seven seasons, the
Sulphur Springs Wildcats exited stage left in the first
round of the state playoffs.
Poor shooting cost the 'Cats the chance at advanc-
ing Tuesday night in a 62-46 loss to McKinney. It
marked the second straight year that the Lions have
eliminated the Wildcats from postseason.
Sulphur Springs, which ended its season at 24-7,
missed 18 of its first 20 shots of the second half as
McKinney wiped out a one-point deficit to take an
eight points lead midway through the third quarter.
“We didn’t shoot the ball well, but McKinney had
a lot to do with that,” SSHS head coach Dick
Scofield said. ‘They turned up the pressure and took
us out of some things that we like to do.
“We were setting up our offense too high and we
couldn't get the pass to the wing to get it inside.
When we got the ball inside, we had some success.”
Johnny Holley led all scorers with 22 points while
McKinney teammate Donte Wilson put in 16. Both
players grabbed nine rebounds.
A 12-3 run to start the second half was all the
Lions (22-10) needed to turn the momentum. They
never trailed after taking a 32-31 on Donte Wilson's
first bucket of the second half, building the lead to 11
by the end of the quarter.
Sulphur Springs trimmed the deficit to nine at the
3:43 and 2:30 marks, but McKinney nailed nine of
12 free throws in the final two minutes to seal the
win.
The Cats scored a season-low 15 points in the
final two quarters, hitting just six of 30 second-half
shots for 20 percent.
“The first half was a feeling-out process. But we
wanted to get something constant going in the second
half and we did that with our defense," McKinney
coach Mark Weir explained. “Anytime you hold a
team like Sulphur Springs to 15 points in a half,
you’ve done something ”
McKinney faces Wilmer-Hutchins in the second
round with the date, site, and time to be decided
In the other playoff game involving a District
14AAAA team on Tuesday, Highland Park crushed
Texas High. 85-63.
Sulphur Springs was led by Damione Lewis’ 15
points while Buck Beachum scored 10 and grabbed
10 board for his 11th double-double of the season.
The Wildcats’ leading scorer, 6-8 junior Cody
Payne, was limited to 11 points — seven under his
average — by Wilson’s suffocating defense. Payne
hit five of 1 j from the field and had trouble getting
the basketball
“They did a great job on Cody of denying him the
ball. They made him do things that he’s not comfort-
able with,” Scofield explained.
Weir was ecstatic with Wilson's defensive effort.
“I don't think Payne scored on Donte; I think the
points he got were either on turnovers or on put-
backs," the McKinney coach boasted "He couldn't
put the ball on the floor and that's what we were
banking on. We tried to keep him outside.”
Scofield said no one player was to blame for the
loss.
“Cody, by his standards, had a sub-par game. But
as a team, McKinney out-executed us on both ends,”
he added.
The Wildcats led by as much as five in the second
quarter before the Lions grabbed a six-point advan-
tage with a 13-2 run, keyed by four points each from
the 6-foot-6 Holley and the 6-3 Wilson.
But SSHS came right back, finishing off the half
with a flurry.
Payne’s dunk and three-point play capped a 7-2
run before halftime that seemed to give the 'Cats the
momentum going into the locker room. In addition,
Holley picked up three first-half fouls.
But that lift escaped as the Wildcats came out cold
in the first half, missing their first five shots as
McKinney wrestled away the lead for good.
“At halftime, we emphasized getting the ball
inside and trying to keep Holley in foul trouble. They
did a great job defensively and we took some bad
shots and the combination cost us,” Scofield said.
McKinney out-scored the 'Cats 20-9 in points off
turnovers as each team ended up with 16 miscues.
Another things that hurt Sulphur Springs was foul
shooting. The Wildcats made just eight of 20 charity
tosses (40 percent).
Sulphur Springs held a 36-33 edge on the boards,
including a 21-9 advantage on the offensive glass.
The Wildcats out-rebounded their foes in 25 of 31
games this season.
McKinney point guard Ryan Kallenberg did a
good job running the offense for the Lions, scoring
nine points, dishing out eight assists, and playing
tough defense on Damion Perry.
Weir, a North Hopkins native, credited Scofield
with having his team ready to play.
“Sulphur Springs is a hard team to play and that's
a credit to Dick and the job he does. He’s built that
program up,” he said.
Wildcat softball team off to
quick 3-0 start this spring
By JOHN TOPPINGS_
Mindy Boss Tired a two-hitter at the Mineola
Yellow Jackets Tuesday, earning her third win of the
young season as the Sulphur Springs girls softball
team remained perfect, cruising to a 10-2 win at City
Park.
The Wildcats (3-0) have now won 19 of their last
20 games dating back to last season and 19 straight
in the regular season
Boss has been untouchable this season, yielding
only four hits in 19 innings of work, while striking
out 39 batters and walking four.
The 5-foot-10 righthander fanned eight batters in
the first three innings. However, the Yellow Jackets
managed to push a pair of runs across in the third.
Boss was provided with plenty of offensive sup-
port as Sulphur Springs pounded out 10 hits.
The Wildcats got on the scoreboard in the first
inning with a pair of runs.
Kara Mahand led off with a single and Jennifer
Smith reach on an error.
Denise Wright stroked an RBI-single to left field
that brought in Mahand and Amber Jordan's sacrifice
fly scored courtesy runner Latresca McGill from
third to make it, 2-0.
Mineola even the score in the third with a pair of
runs, but the knotted game didn't last long.
Sulphur Springs answered with two runs to jump
back on top. Jennifer Smith walked and Misty
Gammill doubled, putting runners at second and
third. McGill then scored on Wright's ground-out to
short and Melanie Clayton singled in Gammill for
the other score.
“We got off to a slow start,” SSHS coach Mary
Gilbertson said. “When people think of Mineola,
they may night take 'em seriously. But they have a
good program and they're good competition.
“We had a couple of defensive breakdowns early
that led to their runs.”
The Wildcats broke open the contest with a four-run
fourth that sealed it.
The top of the order for the Wildcats did the dam-
age scoring four times in the inning, while they com-
bined for 10 runs and seven hits.
Mahand opened the fourth with a base hit, Jennifer
Smith walked and they both scored on a Mineola
error. Wright laced a single into right-center field for
her third run batted in of the evening.
Sulphur Springs racked on two more runs in the
inning on another Mineola miscue that capped off a
five-run outburst. Gammill drove in the Wildcats'
final run with a base hit tliat plated Mahand, who
opened the fifth with a free pass.
Boss went the distance, allowing only two hits,
two runs, while walking a pair and striking out a
dozen.
The Wildcats got two good defensive plays from
Michelle Cork and Wright.
Cork ran down a long fly ball in center and Wright
doubled up a runner at second base by jumping high
into the air to catch a line drive and then firing lo sec-
ond base.
Sulphur Springs will not be back in action until
Mar. 1 at home against Rockwall for a 6:30 contest
