Whitewater
High School is the only football team in the county that has the benefit
of not losing any players
from last year's squad to graduation. In fact, they not only kept all
of their starters from last year, they now have a freshman class to
add to their roster.
Last year, Whitewater High School played a junior
varsity
schedule with a team made up of freshmen. The team went 10-1. Their
only loss, a 26-0 shutout, came against Luella in the second week
of the season.
After that the Wildcats went on a 9-0 run, getting revenge on Luella
in the seventh week, winning 37-12. Whitewater outscored their opponents
331-82 last year, with much of their offense coming from a string
rushing attack. The Wildcats gained 2,676 yards on the ground, averaging
243.27
yards a game. The Whitewater defense was also very stout. Not only
did they hold opponents to 778 yards rushing and 458 yards passing,
but they
had 24 sacks and five interceptions.
