The second half opened up with no touchdowns scored in the 3rd and a thrilling 4th when the Wildcats scored once to tie the game. The game ended tied 8-8. The Wildcats are 0-1-1

JV-The JV Wildcats defeated the Baytown Lee Ganders on 9/5. The Wildcats dominated the night 48-0. A variety of Cats scored with the defense eliminating any and all threats from the Ganders.

9/12 has brought the JV Wildcats a much-needed break gearing up for the remainder of the season. All teams will return to action next week.

The Varsity football team had a rough night against Baytown Lee last Thursday night losing 75-35. This has been a great wake up call and I can promise that the Wildcats will be ready next week against Shepherd!
