October 29, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Wildcats Defensive Coordinator Steve Hale says Texas High probably has the best offense the Wildcats have faced this year. He says their attack is balanced 50% running and passing. They run just a few plays with mostly the same personnel but they use lots of different formations. Hale says Texas High has a young quarterback but also a huge offensive line. He adds they like to throw the ball well down the field to talented receivers. But Hale says he has a good game plan and expects the defense to be ready with all that’s on the line.
