The Buckhorn Wildcats played a district game with the Leslie County Eagles early last week. The Wildcats jumped out to a big early lead, and held on for the win.
Buckhorn could do no wrong in the first period, and heated up the nets with a strong offense. On the other side of the floor, Leslie County was struggling to find their range. At the horn, the Wildcats held the 23-6 lead.
