Outlook: The Wildcats struggled to a 2-8 record last season, playing a non-league schedule that included Southlake Carroll, not to mention the tough 5A Region II District 9. RB Desmond Roland is a talented newcomer who should benefit from running behind a strong offensive line. DE Reid McCann, LB Austin Jones and Mitchell Hodge are the top returners.
