Notes:

Mike Says: The Wildcats will be a contender again this year. They only bring back 8 total starters but coach Huseman always has this team ready. Watch out for SOPH RB Moore. He may be one of the best up and coming backs. Look for them to go 7-3 or 8-2 in the regular season and come in 2nd behind Muleshoe in the district.

Chris Says: Littlefield is going to have another good team. The shouldn't have too hard a time turning in a winning record in regular season. The area that will be trouble for the Wildcats is the playoffs. While they should get bi-district win, I do not expect them to matchup very well much beyond that.
