Outlook: Who will start at QB is a big question for Coach Blake Feldt's Bearcats but the running game should be a major strength. Cooper Guthrie is back at RB after sprinting for more than 1,000 yards last season. At WR Nathanael Riegel, Jarman Johnson, and Seth Tilley lead a good core hoping whoever emerges at QB is solid from the opening kickoff. The Cats are transitioning from 3A to 2A this season and should have a defensive strength at LB. Karl Anderson, Mason Guthrie, and Colton Vest are strong at LB. The largest school in the district should be among the best this year on the gridiron.
