Kickapoo knows it's talented. After a comeback win over Cardinal Ritter, it knows it has fight

ROGERSVILLE — In the locker room at halftime, Kickapoo head coach Mitch McHenry told his team that it needed to get a "kill."

A kill is three stops in a row.

The Chiefs needed it. They were down 12 against defending Class 3 state-champion Cardinal Ritter and the Chiefs were coming off an emotional loss to Greenwood just the week before.

"We needed to get three stops to give ourselves a chance," McHenry said. "And we did that."

Shortly into the second half, the Chiefs got those three stops and turned them into three-straight Anton Brookshire buckets.
