In my 54 years of following the Kokomo Wildkats, I have sat in Memorial Gym, and watched a lot of good and great players of the game of basketball. Up until sickness kept me from doing so, we followed the Wildkats all over the state. My favorite coach in those early years was Joe Platt, who I respected both as a friend, teacher and coach. Back in those days, coach had his players on the floor to run, shoot and rebound. Basketball was a sport where you sat there and watched the skills of the players taught to them by Coach Platt, come forth to the thrill of the fans, and executed the way Coach wanted them to do.

This years Lady Wildkats remind me of those teams as they go out on the floor and play the game the way they were taught to do. I have to say that the four seniors this year played their hearts out as they have done in the previous three seasons. They are very unselfish, are team oriented, alert to all the actions on the floor, and they had fun while doing it. We have enjoyed watching from our seats there in the north section of section 5, and to able to say that basketball is very well with the girls' program and the legacy that these four seniors and this fine coach leave will help our program more. Again ,thanks to these four young ladies who represented you and I as well as the school and the city. We will miss you and if you are in the gym next year, come on up to our seats and say hello. Thanks Ladies for making this year one to remember. Go forth in your continued studies and make another mark in history.
