Chuck Mitchell's 30 points aren't enough as the Wildcats lose at home, 65-60.
Top-ranked Milton’s visit to Wheeler turned into a battle of senior big men Tevin Glass and Chuck Mitchell. Wheeler's Mitchell won the battle Saturday night, but Milton won the AAAAA war in East Cobb, 65-60. It was the 14th consecutive win for Milton (18-4), whose only on-court loss came at home Dec. 10 against Tift County, 57-52. But it was the first time all season that the Eagles won by fewer than 11 points. Against Wheeler (10-8), Milton never led by more than 11. “Won tonight over a talented and young Wheeler team,” Milton Coach David Boyd tweeted. Mitchell was the biggest reason a Wheeler lineup packed with freshmen and sophomores made it so close. He scored a game-high 30 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter, and grabbed 12 …

No. 2 Shiloh beats the Wildcats on their home court, thanks to a stolen inbounds pass and layup in the closing seconds.
Four times Wheeler had the ball out of bounds along the baseline on the offensive end in the fourth quarter. Four times the Wildcats failed to score. Those four failures—three turnovers and a missed, desperation 12-foot jump shot by Derrick Evans just before the buzzer—proved the difference in top-ranked Wheeler’s 68-66 loss at home to No. 2 Shiloh. It was an intense game for mid-December, one that happened only because of the cancellation of a showcase involving the two teams in North Carolina. The biggest lead of the game was six points, when Wheeler jumped ahead in the second quarter, but neither team led by more than four in the second half. The Generals brought a large crowd from Snellville to counter the Wildcats’ home-court …
