Now the Wildcats hope to do the same thing, but this time get the win against TC West.
“We just need to bring the energy back again like we did the first two and three sets,” said Pilarski. “It was just great! We were all fighting. We were all together. We were all hyped. We were all just going for everything. Just killing it.”
Traverse City West and Alpena hit the court on Tuesday, September 18, at 7 p.m.
