The Wildcat Football team worked hard this summer in preparation for the 2011 season. Third-year Head Coach Charlie Ward had high hopes for the team’s success. With the addition of new coaches and several talented transfers, he and his staff worked hard to prepare the Wildcats for the fall. “The team showed a renewed focus and passion in our quest for a playoff run into the state tournament,” said Coach Ward. The Wildcats added twice daily summer conditioning workouts to their training regimen. Several key members from last year’s team returned this fall including seniors Chase Kimble, Marcus Williams, David Ojo, and kicker Andrew Smith.

In the best finish for the Wildcats under Coach Ward’s direction, the team finished with a record of 5-6, missing the playoffs by just one game. “Our guys fought hard and showed a lot of heart every week,” said Coach Ward. “We won 2 of our last 3 games, finishing the season on a positive note. We hope to take that momentum into the off season as we prepare for an exciting 2012.”
