The Cats pick up 20 yards and the crowd was on its feet. A holding call and the play was for naught. Two plays on, in want looks like another big one for Kennedale, a chop block call brings it all back. The Wildcats were then facing a 3rd and 17 but a fumble on the next play ended with the Eagles in possession. Argyle scores six plays later.

This would be the night that Kennedale had.
?
The Cats didn?t make too many mistakes but when they happened they were momentum killers. Three fumbles with one loss along with six penalties and Kennedale ended up punting 7 times.
?
This is not to take anything away from Argyle. They lived up to their hype – 462 yards total offense with 241 on the ground and 221 yards on the air. They were forced to punt once. This is a team that has four players going to D1 schools – Arkansas, Texas Tech, Kansas State and Arkansas.
?
Kennedale ended the game with 210 yards with 45 of that in the air less than half of the usual total. Juwan Washington had 210 all-purpose yards – 97 rushing, 45 in receptions and 74 yards on kick returns. Donny Darville had 42 yards and Bradon Hull picked up 18 and passed for 45 yards. Taylor Thibeau and Hunter McGahan both got a sack apiece.

This week the Wildcats face a rebuilt Texarkana Texas team. This is another 4A team. The Texas Tigers finished 3-7 last year but are currently 2-1. The Cats will not catch a breather here.
?
Supposedly the players to watch are Anthony Rhone (Sr., LB) and Trey Walker (Jr., RB). While the team is not the caliber of Crowley (3-0), Mansfield Legacy (3-0) or Argyle, they are big and have some talent. They will be looking to revenge last year?s loss to the Wildcats.
?
This will be the last non-district game Kennedale plays before getting a week off. The Wildcats will play district rival Springtown on October 11 at Springtown.
?
Game will be played at Royse City High School. ?For directions http://www.texasbob.com/stadium/stadium.php?id=291??
