treras as the Wildcats get set to play
This is the first district game and
most of the players are healthy with
one exception Starting quarterback
Josh Marler is out and running back
Kevin Hotub has been shifted to take
over the quarterback duties
The offense Is improving, but four
days without practice has not helped
tile situation
Contreras said. He was happy
juat to be playing freshmen as op-
posed to the sophomore's they've
been playing Freshmen are smaller
and less mature than sophomores
Psychologically speaking it will be
a lift for the Wildcats to play their
own age.”
Contreras also said that this is s
tough game, but if they win this one,
they here a good shot at district

The Wildcats must n>w prepare
for their first and mayte most im-
portant district match of the year
The Cats are taking an arch-rival
Calallen in what coold lie the
deciding factor in this year's district

For the post three seasons, G-P
has taken 1st in district while
Calallen has come in second; Prior
to last year's showdown.' otli teams
had a perfect district mirk oil M G-
P won the contest and the district ti-
tle and have dominated die Calallen
Wildcats since 1965.15-1-1
This year, many high school foot-
ball experts pick G-F' first and
Calallen second, pitting eitra
pressure on the Wildcats first
dwtict match-up
G-P bead coach Carl) Mircovich
said. This baUgamc lias ii great
deal to do with determining district
champs It's unfortunate this game
is this early, but by no means can we
discount anyone else in this
district "
The key to this match-up tould be
stopping the Calallen qiarterbarks
That s right quarterbacks They
rotate Keith Martin and Mali Pschal
at that position and both are ex-
cellent runners . accounting for 122
yards of the 250 yards rushing in

defense is looking at a large and sur-
prisingly quick offensive line rang-
ing from 230 to 250 pounds
According to Mircovich, the Cats
are juat going to have to be quicker
Also, the Gita should not expect
the Calallen offense to play as slop-
pily as they did against Hehbren-
vilie
Head coach Phil Danaher was
upset about the inconsistent play on
offense that included three lost
fumbles and was stopped twice by
costly penalties
However, hi* was pleased with his
defense that held Hebbronville to 138
yards total rushing and had two pass
interceptions
An unknow; 1 factor in the game is
the effect of Hurricane Gilbert Hav-
ing forced cancellations for both
teams and making practice impossi-
ble for four straight days. Gilbert
has had its effect.
Playeni will have to practice extra
hard to recover timing lost in the
four day layoff
Wildcat, center Buc Vi kers said,
"As soor as 1 heard the Victoria
game wa i cancelled, 1 started think
mg about Calallen. We clad not play
Friday night and are hungry for ac-

The key to victory a no mistakes
Mircovich said. The players
must forget the hurricane and con-
centrate on Calallen They know
(Calallen plays a tough game We
have to impress on our kids that this
is a very important step to the
district championship
Vickers echoed those sentiments.
This is the first district game

JV Cats Seek Revenge
Against Calalien Tonight
The JV W.ldcats are looking for
revenge tonight as a majority of
players on this year's team were on
