It was a non-league matchup on Tuesday night but next year it will become a league matchup as Doniphan West joins the Twin Valley League and will take on Frankfort with more regularity. As Frankfort made the statement to Doniphan West to be prepared when you join the TVL for tough competition, as the Wildcats topped the Mustangs 37-29. Up first on the night were the ladies and it was a sluggish start to the contest as it was just 5-4 at the end of the first quarter, in favor of Frankfort on the road.

Wildcats pushed out to a six point lead going into the half behind a 13-8 second quarter, but Doniphan West closed to within two going into the fourth period. In the fourth the Wildcats out scored the Mustangs 15-9 with all 15 Frankfort points coming at the hands of seniors, Josie Hale and Jessa Jones. Hale finished the night with a season high 18 points and was 6-8 from the free throw line to lead the Wildcats and earn the Community National Bank "Player to Bank On" award for the girls game. Jones added double figures with 14 to go along with Hale 18 on the evening.

For the Mustangs they were minus two key players in senior, Clarissa Billups and junior, Abbi Ellis so it was senior, Kassidy Blevins stepping up on the night finishing with a team-high 11 points and going 4-6 from the free throw line.

With the win Frankfort improves to 9-3 on the season, while Doniphan West falls to 9-4 on the year.
