Wildcats vs. Hinsdale Falcons

After the record-setting rains at the end of last week, both teams were wearing a lot of mud within minutes of the starting whistle. Good Wildcat blocking allowed Dean Pauley to make two good runs and get the Cats within scoring range and off to a quick lead of 6-0. Hinsdale responded a decent trek through the mud of their own to tie it up again. Just before the half, a pass by Travis Kuhlmann found Zach Burghardt and paved the way for a 12-6 lead. Going into the second half, the Falcons came back with a second TD and added the extra point as well. Both defenses held through the remainder of the game and the final stood at 13-12, our closest game yet. The loss brings the Wildcats to 0-5 on the season.

Practice resumes tomorrow at 5:30 at the firing range field.
