SPRING FOOTBALL
Opp WINS
Black & Gold
The Opp Bobcats held their spring Black
and Gold Friday Night with a final score 28-26. The winner, Coach
Whigham! What a difference a year makes. The Bobcats played
more aggressive and the defense for both the Black and the Gold made solid
plays and tackles through the 53 degree temperature.
The heat for the evening was 8th grader
Quadir Kincaid
 who
showcased some break away speed and put forth notice that region teams may
grow tired of hearing his name on the loud speaker. Kincaid had two
long runs on the evening, including a 57 yard dash for a second half TD.
Incoming senior Cody Hall played quarterback
on both sides with the first team offenses and the receivers made several
individual efforts, but a wide open touchdown pass in the fourth quarter
brought the Black team back.
 "We
now have 5 months to get bigger and
stronger" Coach Whigham told his players "Last year we missed some
breaks - but we are more sure of ourselves". Coach Whigham
told Program23 after the game - "we are tackling better, moving side to
side, and our strength has improved". "We could win 3 or 4 this next
year and if we get some confidence for our senior class through the
season.... " a big pause from the second year coach of the Bobcats.
In all the Bobcats had 84 players on the
field for their Spring game - that is a great improvement over the 56 that
finished the season. Things are looking up for the Bobcats - who are
building their middle school program, junior high and varsity. Next
season could be an exciting time for Bobcat fans - who could possible see
a playoff game of their own in 2007.

2007 season before the spring for an early peak.
