The second half kicked off with an energy that we have yet to see from the Wildcats.

Which ended the night with a big W for the Wildcats. 

Shelby Nickal was unstoppable with no missed kicks Friday night as well. The Wildcats took an opportunity and made the best out of it, look out for a promising season this year fellow Wildcats.

Coach Benson answered a few questions to end the night and the following are his responses. When asked who was the best player of the night, he said,” It was not gonna be one player and it’s gonna be the whole offensive line because they opened up holes for us to run and gave time for our quarterbacks to run”. He was also asked where the Wildcats need more improvement and he said, “We need to start faster and play more consistently earlier in the game”. The final question asked was about goals for this season and his response was,” State championships”.
