KUA Fights Back to Beat Cushing

A long van ride to Cushing Academy looked to be the most difficult opponent KUA would face on Saturday. Twelve minutes into the first half, the Boy's Thirds basketball team trailed 17 - 6, and looked out of sync and sluggish. With a quick burst, including a number of steals and a basket from Kevin Jang, KUA closed to within three at halftime. While the cobwebs were certainly fading away, Cushing started the second half with a run, leaving KUA in the hole by nine points. Behind 23 -14, the rest of the game belonged to the Wildcats. KUA played strong man-to-man defense, and consistently found an open Turbo Weitzel, who netted three 3-pointers in the second half. KUA scored 17 of the game's final 19 points, and escaped with a thrilling victory! Turbo scored a season best nineteen points, including four crucial foul shots during the final minute of play, and Chibi Ironnah dominated defensively and passed the ball like a pro. KUA's next game is home against Putney School this Wednesday.
