Christian, Kilpatrick
by Misty Volaski

Villanova's boys' basketball team went into Tuesday's game vs. Oaks Christian knowing the odds of a Wildcat win weren't good.
Though the prediction was fulfilled, the Wildcats put up a valiant effort against the team with a 17-0 record. Djadji Daffe contributed 15 points to the Wildcat score, while Nathan Langelier trailed with 14 points.
With the help of Langelier, Daffe and a strong defense, the Wildcats were able to come within nine points of the undefeated Oaks Chrisitan team. However, Oaks Christian pulled away in the fourth quarter, and took home the win, 66-47.
Wednesday's game was a much closer match. Daffe once again ruled the court with 29 points on the evening, bringing Villanova ahead of Kilpatrick in the last minutes of the fourth quarter.
With two minutes left, Villanova led by four points, but Kilpatrick showed their might, triumphing over the Wildcats, 53-50.
The Wildcats play next on Jan. 30 vs. Thacher School at home at 4:30 p.m.
