* Played in the 2A Championship game during their 2 year stay in Class 2A
* RB Ford is one of the best in the state...can he make it to 3000 yards in his SR. year
* Expect the Wildcats to go 9-1 or 10-0 in the regular season and win the district title
* If they were still in 2A this would be a top team....Even in 2A they are one of the best Division II teams in Region III
* Expect a run to at least the Quarterfinals
