The walking (or not) wounded for the Lady Wildcats girls’ basketball include (from left) Samantha Nieuwkoop, Sam Shealey, Mari Biondo and Kennedy Helderop. The four have faithfully been at Wayland’s ballgames and have cheered on the depleted ranks of their comrades, which now number only seven as a result of their predicaments. The Lady Wildcats are 0-8 thus far this season, but continue to improve nonetheless and they nearly upset a 5-2 Zeeland West ballclub Friday night, falling by just five points.
