2023 Offensive Outlook: The Wildcats have lead the PAC in rushing the past 4 seasons in a row. Each of those seasons culminated with a trip to the district playoffs. If the Wildcat’s will be successful, they will need to run the ball from numerous people.

2023 Defensive Outlook: The Wildcats will need to stop the run while on defense. They will have to do a good job of getting off the field on 3rd and long situations. The Wildcats will have to stress getting turnovers and winning the field position battle.
