Cats are expecting a confrontation with another athletic team …
Kennedale and Aubrey have not played each other before this year. The Wildcats (0-1) are fighting for their first win of this young season.
The Wildcats rarely lose back-to-back games. Last year was one of those rare exceptions when they went 0-3 at the beginning but came back for a season record of 7-4, another district championship, and a playoff berth.
Game time temperature should be in the lower 80s with partly cloudy skies.
