In what may have been one of the ugliest wins of this or any season, the Harrison Wildcats survived a visit from the Franklin County Wildcats last Tuesday night to post a 59-51 victory.

The first quarter was a thing of beauty for Harrison. Harrison broke an 8-8 tie and ran off 15 points in a row to end the quarter at 23-8.

“We played as well as we can in that first half,” said Harrison coach Eric Ebrens.

The Cats added seven more points to that lead in the second quarter to take a 22 point lead, 34-12 at the half.
