After Week 10 stumble, Wildcats roar into playoffs with 35-26 win

‘Cats deny resilient Fitch behind McVey, defensive toughness

By JOHN FANTA ’13

After their Week 10 tight loss to the Saint Edward Eagles, the Wildcats came off the field and immediately had to refresh their focus to the Austintown Fitch Falcons. The Wildcats still had the #2 seed in OHSAA Region 1, as the #7 seeded Falcons were no usual Regional Quarterfinal opponent. As Coach Kyle said after the Week 10 tough defeat, \”It’s always a closely contested battle. It’s time now, to shift our focus on the playoffs and put this behind us. This is a blessing, I truly believe it.”
