Chilton County’s varsity girls basketball team looked to add to their three-game winning streak on Friday night against undefeated Tuscaloosa County, but it was the Wildcats who improved to seven wins in a row as they proved too much for the Tigers to handle and handed them their second loss of the season, 55-20.
The Wildcats (7-0) that got things going in the first half, holding the Tigers (3-2) to just three points in the first period on a Chynna Davis three pointer.
