It has been far too long before tonight since I had seen my beloved Kokomo Wildkats in person. I got to catch the overtime session of a tournament win against Brownsburg back in December, but in terms of seeing a live, in person full game it has been over two years. My newspaper job took me over to Richmond tonight, however, and I got to see the possible intersection of Kokomo basketball and Purdue as I finally got to see the Kats’ dominant sophomore big man.
It was worth the wait.
They have been playing basketball at Kokomo for almost 120 years.
