wildcats ground the eagles 42 to 12

Eagle Dropping

Published October 9 2004

Wildcats have a theme: 42. For the second week in a row, Cats finish a game with a score of 42. Wildcats dropped the Edison Eagles on Friday night with a score of 42 to 12.

Eagles are a tough group of ball players, but our Cats attacked by air and by land—always just a couple of steps ahead of the competition. The evening was cool and crisp, just like the performance of the Centreville squad. Half time arrived with the Eagles scoreless after Wildcats had crossed the goal line a number of times—each time followed by a beautiful extra point. The second half moved at a quick pace and the game ended with a final score of 42 to 12.

The contest had some special visitors. Channel 9 sent a reporter and videographer to capture highlights of the game, and complete a little feature about “Friday Night Lights” in the local community—a story inspired by the new motion picture of the same name. Later Friday evening, viewers of Channel 9 could view the excitement of the game on their televisions during the 11PM broadcast. Check the Channel 9 website and they may post video of the report at a later date.
