It’s been a rough start for the Benjamin Russell boys basketball team in its new area, after opening day on the Paul Carney Court; the Wildcats are still in search of their first win.

On Friday, the Wildcats first hosted Clay Central for a non-area match-up, but fell 44-41. Ultimately, the best way to describe the bout would be a back-and-forth affair with each team pulling off impressive runs in each quarter.
