The Wildcats offensive coaches are wearing Whitehouse t-shirts at practice this week to remind players who ended the Wildcats’ season last year. The Wildcats probably wont need any additional motivation to get ready for Whitehouse. Even the 7 on 7 team this summer couldn’t wait to face and beat Whitehouse at the state tournament. Monday’s first practice of the week was great according to Offensive Coordinator Jeff Riordan. Riordan calls the offense’s first game pretty good. He notes the Wildcats racked up 515 yards, scored on their first possession of each half and had ten plays of over 20 yards. Riordan is also excited about the added dimension of running back Ryan Young who gained 158 yards. Riordan says it will make him a better coordinator.
