Jr. Cats Take District Harding Academy's Junior Wildcats rolled to their second consecutive conference championship as they defeated the Pulaski Academy Bruins 32-16. The young team, with eighth graders in several of the key positions, and with only on starter from last year, pulled their season championship through with the coaching and patience of Coaches Gary Rhodes and Randy Lambeth. The Cats started off the ir season with an 0-12 loss to the Heber Springs Panthers. This was a blow to the Wildcats , but they didn't let that bother them too badly and came back the next week, really fired up , and broke through the C.A.C. Mustangs for a 12-6 victory. After this victory , the Wildcats were a little more confident of themselves but still didn 't do very well the next two weeks with a lucky tie to the DeValis Bluff Scrappers (which they probably should have lost) and a lost to the Vilonia Eagles. Luckily , neither of these games were in the conference standings which was a little comfort to the Cats and Coach Rhodes. Because of this drop in the Wildcats season , the Cats worked their skins off the next week for the upcoming game against Hazen, whlch counted as a conference game. The hard work and effort of the Wildcats that week proved to be worth it as they sweated against their fa st and tough opponents and came out on top with their first conference victory of 20-14. From here on , the Wildcats gave great effort and ended their season with two victories over Scott, 22-0 and P .A., 32- 16. 322 Boy's Sports Here's the Plan.
