Hoops Bearcats to hit the road

Coach Jeff McCullough’s Sherman Bearcats will be logging some serious mileage in the months of November and December.

The Cats will open the 2009-10 basketball season on Tuesday, Nov. 17 at home against Allen, then won’t appear at Bearcat Gymnasium again until the Sherman Holiday Invitational Dec. 28-30.

They’ll play in a Thanksgiving tournament in Peoria, Ill. and will take a two-game swing through Northwest Arkansas Dec. 18-19 against Fayetteville and Rogers.

A tournament in Garland, an appearance in the South Garland Shootout and road games to Wylie and DeSoto round out the pre-holiday slate for Sherman.

“We have a brutal non-district schedule,” McCullough said. “We had six teams drop us from last year. I guess folks in the Metroplex think you have to drive forever to get to Sherman. They haven’t been in a district with Wichita Falls.”

The Bearcats, who finished 27-8 in 2008-09 and went four rounds deep in the playoffs, bring back senior 6-foot-7 wing Cameron Clark, who committed to Oklahoma two weeks ago.
