Notes:
The Wildcats will be a very inexperienced team this year with only 6 starters returning. They will rely on the defense led by DB Timmons early on while QB Owens and RB Chester get the offense started. Coach Owens has this program turned around and they are back to where they were in the mid 1990's. This year will be a challenge though to get to 9 wins. They are in an easier district with Longview and Marshall moving out though. Expect them to go 6-4 or 7-3 in the regular season, fight for that 3rd or 4th spot in disttict and advance to the Area or Regional playoffs.

3 consecutive 9+ win seasons (only 1 in the previous 11 seasons before Owens)
