And oh boy, if you thought fireworks were just for the Fourth of July, you clearly missed this game that ended with a jaw-dropping score of 48-43! Talk about a *record-breaking* evening!

High-Scoring Drama Unfolds

It’s not every day that you see a game score that *outshines* even the best of boys basketball teams. In fact, the combined runs of the Lady Wildcats and Irving MacArthur were higher than the scores of 12 boys basketball teams playing state semifinal games that same night. Can you believe that? It was like stepping into a *softball dream*, with runs flying in left and right, excitement in the air, and fans on the edge of their seats!

Before this particular encounter, Irving MacArthur had been having a *tough season*. They had struggled at the plate, scoring no more than 14 runs in a single game and totaling only 35 runs prior to facing the Lady Wildcats. In their last four games, they managed to score just two runs! So, the game on March 4 was a completely unexpected eruption of offense from a team that had recently been in a defensive slump.

  • 4th Inning: MacArthur 37 – 26 Lake Highlands
  • 5th Inning: Lake Highlands 45 – 37 MacArthur
  • 6th Inning: Lake Highlands 48 – 43 MacArthur

The Lady Wildcats certainly had the upper hand in the early innings, scoring with impressive numbers. However, in a surprising twist in the fourth inning, MacArthur clawed their way back into the game, showing remarkable resilience. But ultimately, the burst from Lake Highlands was just too much to bring back down completely.
