After leading the North Central Conference for much of last season, only to fall short at the end, veteran Humboldt girls’ basketball coach Rodd Mooney would love nothing better than to see his team finish strong come February.
Thanks to the return of four letterwinners and a strong senior class, the Wildcats have the tools to again contend for a league championship this season.
