The 8th-grade boys faced a good Rose Hill team this week and were evenly matched until the Rockets broke the game open in the 4th quarter for the 28-14 win.

The Cats took a momentary lead in the 3rd quarter with a 3-yard TD run by Hays Ensley and a Myers 2-pt conversion run, but the Rockets had the final say with two TDs in the 4th to close out the game. "We played a very talented Rose Hill team and knew we had to play our best game of the year to win," said Coach Beikman. "The boys played hard for four quarters, but we just could not overcome their depth. These boys battle every time they take the field."
The Wildcats will be back at home for the next 2 weeks and will face Winfield on Thursday, September 29th and Wellington on Thursday, October 6th.
