Kennedale plays Midlothian Heritage in Week 2 and plays Dunbar in district play later.

Here is what Gosset had to say about Kennedale for 2018:
?
The Wildcats are coming off their two best seasons in program history, capped off by their first trip to the state title game in December. They went to the state semifinals in 2016.
?
Led by coach Richard Barrett’s Wing-T offense, Kennedale can show off two, three or even four runners. Last year it was the duo of Jaden Knowles and D.J. Kirven, who combined for 4,500 yards rushing and 45 TDs, which oddly enough is Kirven’s career numbers in three years. Both players were named to the Star-Telegram football all-star team. Kirven will return as a senior in 2018 and considered one of the premier backs in the state.??Also watch for DB J.D. Coffey, who was named first team all-state as a freshman last season. Coffey recorded 88 tackles, 11 for loss, team-high six interceptions and four deflections.?Look out for a Week 2 match up with Midlothian Heritage.?2018 Kennedale Wildcat Schedule …?
