Notes:
The Wildcats ended a streak of two 10+ wins seasons last year but when it came playoff time they surprised everyone. After defeating Duncanville, they fought the Division I Champions Euless Trinity to a 3 point 38-41 loss. With 11 returning starters look for QB Michelsen on offense and LB Laures on defense to get back on the winning side of things this year. Expect the Wildcats to go 7-3 or 8-2 in the regular season and fight for the district title. Once they get to the playoffs though, only one or two rounds are expected especially in that tough Region I.
