The Mulvane girls basketball teams kicked off their 2022-23 season at home versus a tough Wellington team, who is coming off an undefeated 2021-22 season and 3rd place at state. The Wildcats kept the score fairly close in the first quarter, but the Crusaders were able to break the game open in the second quarter and the Cats were down 11-32 at halftime. The Cats were competitive in the second half but fell 30-49. Lauren Young (Sr.) led the girls with 11 points and 9 rebounds on the evening and Teagan Garrison (Jr.) dropped in 10 points in the game.
