Scoring Plays:
The JV squad had their second game of the year. It was a defensive battle all game long with the Rockets leading the Cats 6-0 until late in the fourth quarter when the Cats scored 14 points with just a few minutes left in the game, shocking the Rockets and getting the 14-6 win. Aiden Heckathorn found Lucas Sorensen for a 17-yard TD pass for the Cats first score, then Heckathorn ran the last TD in from 7 yards in a wild finish.
The Freshman/Sophomore team had their fourth game of the year, but this one was only 2 quarters. That didn't stop the Cats from pouring on some points as they scored 28 points in the first quarter. Manny Myers found the endzone with a 45-yard run, followed by Hunter Landis with a 48-yard run. Myers hooked up with Kurtis Caruthers for a 21-yard TD pass and then found KJ Schanz for a 43-yard TD pass. The Wildcats final score was in the second quarter as Caruthers found the endzone with a 34-yard TD run.
