The Wildcats’ 7 on 7 football team won all three games they played at a Commerce competition on Saturday (June 8). The Wildcats topped Commerce, Scurry-Rosser and Leonard.

He said the varsity achieved a goal of completing 80% of their passes that hit receivers hands. Kaden Wallace was quarterback for all three wins Saturday. Coach Young said Wallace is getting a better feel for calling plays. Coach Young said Wallace’s favorite targets included Kylan Wade, Detrick Clayton, Chase Haney, Landry Meskimen, Zack Tiemeyer and Campbell Cody.
