Wildcats Football Team Opens 2020 Season With Road Loss Against Frisco Wakeland, 38-10
The Wildcats Football Team had a tough start to the 2020 season losing a one-sided game, 38-10 against Frisco Wakeland at Toyota Stadium in Frisco Friday night, September 25.
The Wolverines put points on the board in every quarter. Wakeland got off to a good start taking the opening kickoff and going 75 yards for a touchdown. Talented Wolverine running back Jared White got the game’s first score on a 5-yard run. Wakeland was up 7-0 at the 7:11 mark of the opening quarter.
The Wildcats tried to match the Wolverines with a score of their own but turned over the ball on downs as a fourth down play failed to get the needed first down. The Wildcats’ defense stopped Wakeland on their next two drives but the Wildcats’ offense was also unsuccessful.
Early in the second quarter, Wakeland used some favorable field position to go 49 yards for their second score. Savvy Wolverine quarterback Peyton Lewis tossed a 21-yard touchdown pass to receiver Dugan Sexton and Wakeland was up 14-0. After an interception of a Wildcat pass, Wakeland had to start a drive from their own 3 yard line. They then went on a 97 yard drive to score for the third time in the game. White scored his second touchdown of the night on a 16-yard run and Wakeland was up 21-0. The Wildcats tried to score on a drive right before the half, but they ran out of time as they threw an incomplete pass down near the goal line.
After halftime, the Wildcats got off to a good start in the third quarter going 66 yards for a touchdown. Quarterback Kaden Wallace scored the Wildcats first touchdown of the season on a determined 16 yard run to the end zone. The Wildcats trimmed the Wolverines lead to 21-7. Things continued to look up when the Wildcats pounced on a Wakeland fumble. The Wildcats were on the Wakeland 39 yard line with a chance to narrow their deficit to just 7 points.
Then, came two plays that changed the whole ballgame. The Wildcats threw a pass down near the goal line and the ball appeared to bounce off of a Wildcat receiver into the hands of a Wakeland defender who returned the interception to midfield. On Wakeland’s first play from scrimmage after that, quarterback Lewis threw a perfectly thrown bomb into the hands of receiver Jack Mayer for a 50-yard touchdown. Just like that, Wakeland was now up 28-7 in the third quarter.
Things got worse for the Wildcats. On the ensuing kickoff, the ball was muffed by the Wildcats and, when they finally got it under control, it was downed at their own 1 yard line. Then, a bad hand off ended up on the ground and Wakeland recovered at the Wildcats 12 yard line. The Wildcats defense slammed the door on the Wakeland offense, but Wolverine kicker Nolan Krinsky salvaged points by kicking a 27 yard field goal to give Wolverines a 31-7 lead at the 3:42 mark of the third quarter.
Early in the fourth quarter, Wakeland struck for the last time. Again quarterback Lewis put the ball right where it needed to be against pretty good Wildcats pass coverage hitting Sexton for a 35-yard TD pass. Wakeland went up 38-7 with 11:30 left in the fourth quarter.
Just when you think the whole game might be a lost cause for the Wildcats, an historic moment took place. Strong-legged Wildcat kicker Josh Tavera, whose booming kickoffs ended up in the end zone all night, drilled a 47-yard field goal with 5:37 left in the fourth quarter to reduce the Wildcats deficit to 38-10. According to records compiled by the Sulphur Springs News Telegram in 2016, Tavera’s field goal tied a school record he now shares with three others. Tony Bravo kicked a 47 yarder in 2011 against Denison. Billy Watkins kicked 47 yarders twice, against Thomas Jefferson and against Rockwall, both in 1989. Weldon Lindley had a 47 yarder against Tyler in 1924.
The final score was Frisco Wakeland 38, Sulphur Springs 10. The Wildcats are 0-1 for the season. The Wildcats now face Lovejoy at Gerald Prim Stadium next Friday night.

That is the largest single day active COVID-19 case tally for Hopkins County since the pandemic began in March.
In the past three months, when cases surged, the most active cases at one time in Hopkins County was 73 until this week. The first time the county had 73 active cases was July 26; that number was repeated Sept. 18-20. The number of active COVID-19 cases in Hopkins County rose to 83 on Sept. 22, 85 on Sept. 24, and peaked at 92 on Friday, Sept. 25.
September is a record month for new COVID-19 cases as well, with a total of 97 new positive coronavirus cases reported by Hopkins County/Sulphur Springs Emergency Management officials. In July, 89 Hopkins County residents received positive COVID-19 test results. August followed with 91 Hopkins County residents receiving notification of lab-confirmed positive novel coronavirus 2019 results.
August ended with 97 recoveries, six more recoveries than new cases. There were 48 recoveries reported during the month of June, which ended with 48 recoveries.
There were no additional recoveries reported Sept. 25. There have been 52 people who have recovered from COVID-19. There would have to be no new COVID-19 cases for the rest of the month and 45 Hopkins County residents would have to recover from COVID-19 in the next 5 days in order to match the number of new cases reported this month for Hopkins County.
While there have been no additional recoveries reported in nearly a week, there have been a total of 52 recoveries this month
Of the 340 Hopkins County residents who have tested positive for COVID-19 since March, 248 have recovered and 8 have died from the virus, according to HC/SSEM and Texas Department of State Health Services reports.
HC/SSEM and Hopkins County Local Health Authority reported there were 51 positive antigen tests from testing facilities within Hopkins County from
Sept. 18 to 3 p.m. Sept. 25. That’s 10 more positive antigen tests this week than last, 31 more than were reported on Sept. 11 and 22 more positive antigen results than on Sept. 4. All together, that’s 141 positive antigen tests reported this month for Hopkins County residents from health facilities within Hopkins County.
Positive antigen results reflect Hopkins County residents only, will be reported weekly, will not count towards state numbers, and will not be shown as “recovered.”
Free COVID-19 testing was offered again Friday in Hopkins County. Testing is being conducted at the Hopkins County Annex building at 128-A Jefferson St. from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Friday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

Wildcats Football Season Opener and Volleyball Match on Friday Game Day
The Wildcats Football Team is scheduled to open the regular season on the game day Friday (September 25) as they travel to Toyota Stadium in Frisco to take on Frisco Wakeland. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. There were a lot of people who believed this season opener day game might not come because of the coronavirus. The start of the Wildcats’ season has already been delayed five weeks by the UIL because of virus concerns. Here’s hoping it stays away long enough to get the football season done this year. This marks the third straight year in a row that the Wildcats and Wolverines have faced each other in the season opener. Two years ago at Frisco Memorial Stadium, the Wildcats escaped with a 37-35 win. Last year at The Prim, the teams were tied at the half, 17-17 before the Wakeland dominated the second half to take a solid 53-17 win. The Wildcats went 1-9 last year. Wakeland was 5-6 including an appearance in a bi-district playoff game. Both coaches enter their 15th year with the same school. Wakeland’s Coach is Marty Secord and the Wildcats Head Coach is Greg Owens. Coach Secord and Coach Owens have been thankful as step by step things fell into place to make tonight’s game possible. KSST Radio will bring you today’s Wakeland and Wildcats game from Frisco beginning at 7:30 p.m. Out pregame show starts at 6:30 p.m. The game on radio will feature streaming audio. We also hope to provide live video streaming it we can make it happen. That will depend on stadium press box facilities or perhaps on our hot spot. We do plan to videotape the game for replay later on Channel 18 on Suddenlink Cable and we will also post the game to YouTube.
Meanwhile the Lady Cats Volleyball Team has a non-district game on this game day Friday at Princeton. The Lady Cats Varsity will play at 5 p.m. The Lady Cats JV Blue and Gold Teams will play at 6 p.m. The Lady Cats have a record of 3-2 so far in this young season. In their most recent game, the Lady Cats defeated Commerce, 3-0 on Senior Night Tuesday night. The Lady Cats have won three matches in a row after starting the season 0-2.
KSST is proud to be the official Wildcat and Lady Cat Station. We broadcast Sulphur Springs ISD games year round live on radio. When allowed, we also broadcast games via our YouTube channel.
