2009 Pre-Season Recap: Cats 3 and 1

The 2009 Wildcats started off strong this season after a great Summer of hard work. Weight room and speed and agility work all Summer led to a successful Camp at Canby for the Cats.

The Pre-season games included an Opener on the road at Barlow and Grant and home games against David Douglas and Canby. The Cats showed they could score and defend as well. With a record of 3-1 after these games the team was playing well but still working towards the season opener against Jesuit is week 6 after a Bye in week 4.

The results of the preseason games were:

1: Westview @ Barlow: Westview wins 42-6

2: Westview @ Grant: Westview lost 27-32

3: David Douglas @ Westview: Westview wins 40-12

4: Canby @ Westview: Westview wins 21-14 in Overtime

Most memorable moment so far has been the rally and overtime win to beat #3 Canby in the Kansas Plan as the Cats powerhouse line and the running of Hayes Garrity pushed the ball in on three downs to win this thriller in front of a crowd of thousands at Wildcat Stadium.

The Cat's look ahead now to the Metro League Opener Against Jesuit on the road at Jesuit. The Crusader's are ranked #2 in the State loosing only to Skyline of Washington who are ranked #9 in the Nation.

This Game started out with the Cats driving 80 plus yards up field for a Touchdown and PAT to take the early lead. The Cat "D"Fense held tough as Grant could not get much going. The Cats Drove again in the Second as the O'line man handled the Generals and scored again to take a 14-0 lead into half time.

But one of the most exciting things about High School Football is that anything can happen at anytime and it did as a fumble on punt return on about the 7 yard line turned into a General Touchdown in One play and the game went on to 14-7. Grant was pumped up and soon had the ball back making some noise of their own. The Generals scored again and after that had 2-3 chances to score near their own Goal Line in the 3rd but the Cats "D" stood the test. It took almost 10 minutes of the second half but Josh Hill and the Cat Offense drove the field and scored on a beautiful Acosta Field Goal to go up 17-14. The Generals tried but could not score and the Cats hang on to win in week #2. This young Cat team learned some great lessons and will have things to build on off of this game. Next Up David Douglas! See you all there at David Douglas for week three!
