Notes:
The Wildcats have 15 starters returning from a young 2009 team that finished 7-4. They will be young again this year but they are now Juniors and will look to make it 5 of 6 years to have at least 10 wins in a season. The Wildcats are one of the favorites to win it all in the newly created Division II of Class 2A. Expect them to go 8-2 or 9-1 in the regular season and make it to at least the quarterfinals. A game they have circled early in the season is vs. Littlefield which is one of the best teams in Class 2A Division I.
