Wildcats Defense

He said there were a lot of mistakes such as missed tackles. Coach Abron said all the mistakes are fixable. However he added when a defense only allows 14 points in regulation they have done something positive. Coach Abron was especially pleased when Paris went to a big lineup on third down and fourth down needing short yardage and the Wildcats big defensive lineup stuffed the plays on both downs. Coach Abron said the Wildcats defense played with great effort. He praised defensive end Calvin Eckert for chasing down Paris runners from behind. Concerning the Whitehouse offense, Coach Abron said they are very explosive. He said they have a quarterback who can deliver passes to receivers who are tall, fast and have good hands. Coach Abron said the Whitehouse offensive line would be the best the Wildcats have faced this season. He said the Wildcats defense must minimize big plays. He said unlike Whitehouse teams of the past, this offense will use a quarterback under center and will sometime deploy two running backs. Coach Abron added Whitehouse had a heck of a running back.
