The Wildkats are sitting at #2 in the state going into tonights game against longtime local rival, the Western Panthers. This game has been each teams first game of the regular season for many many years now. The Panthers will have a very tough battle against the Wildkats. Kokomo went to semi state in 2022 and then to state in 2023 but fell to Ben Davis. This Wildkats team has had a lot of attention and been the talk of the town as well as the nation over the last few years primarily because of one player in particular. The "Big Man" Flory Bidunga. Flory, a senior, had offers from top D1 universities such as Auburn, Indiana, Florida and Duke just to name a few. Ultimately he chose to sign with the Kansas Jayhawks. All things considered, let's see how the Panthers approach this game.
