Mount Vernon High School

The boys basketball team won on Homecoming night over Pike Central 61-58. The Cats had built a 37-22 lead at half and hung on down the stretch despite hot three point shooting by the Chargers. Nicot Burnett led the way with 24 points and Nash Hostetter had 12 points. Brady Schickel was outstanding defensively and on the glass and finished with 12 points. The Wildcats are now 10-7 on the season and improve to 3-4 in the PAC. Mt. Vernon will be back in action on Thursday evening at Princeton with a 7:30pm start.
