The Mulvane Boys basketball team traveled to Halstead on Tuesday, January 7th, 2020 to open the second half of the season after the winter break. A week of practice before school officially resumed did the Cats good as all three teams defeated Halstead on the evening as varsity won 57-38, JV won 59-27, and the c-team won 21-15.

The Varsity team started off pretty even with the Dragons but lead by 2 points after the first quarter with a 14-12 score. Junior Trey Abasolo scored 6 points and sophomores Mason Ellis and Ian Comer both scored 4 points in the 1st quarter. The Cats exploded in the 2nd quarter, outscoring the Dragons 23-6 to go into halftime with a 37-18 lead. Ellis and senior Michael Manis both had a great 2nd quarter scoring 9 and 7 points respectively.

The Cats continued their game in the 3rd quarter and outscored the Dragons 14-7 with Abasolo and Comer leading the quarter with 5 and 4 points. The Dragons outscored the Cats in the 4th quarter 13-6 but the Cats were so far ahead it didn't impact the game. The Cats won with a final of 57-38.

Ian Comer lead the Wildcats with 15 points, Mason Ellis finished with 14 points, Trey Abasolo with 13 points, Michael Manis with 9 points, Kiser Jansen with 4 points, and Trent Billingslea with 2 points. Ellis lead the team in rebounds with 5 and Abasolo and Aaron Ballinger both finished with 4 rebounds each. Abasolo lead the team in assists with 6.
