Cassville – To State In 2009

The title above is correct.  The team pulled off the win against Kansas City Ohara with a 23-7 victory.  The Ohara team fought hard and it was a great game.

At half time the score was 10 – 7 with Cassville only taking the lead moments before the half.  Ohara was putting up a vicious defense; and the Cassville boys were struggling hard to get toward the Ohara goal.  I believe the field goal attempt and success was made from near the 35 yard line.

In the second half the game the Wildcats passed for a touchdown, it was caught but ruled out and incomplete, to the disappointment of many Wildcat fans.  I think many adult fans at High School and other sports events need to learn to be better sportsmen about rulings by the officials.  The language practically made me not want to be there.  It was like I had fallen into the language sewer or something.  Can we not be passionate about the sport, whatever sport it is, without the bad language?

Cassville did pull off the win with two more touchdowns in the second half of the game, missing one extra point attempt, then continuing to hold the Ohara Celtics from any more touchdowns.

The Ohara Celtics have nothing to be ashamed of.  They played hard, and gave Cassville great competition.  They had the fans of Cassville somewhat worried; especially at the end of that first half.

Next week the team will be going to State Championship game in the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, MO. and will play Bowling Green for the 3A State Championship.

It has been another great football season for the Cassville Wildcats Football team.  Keep up the good work.

GO WILDCATS GO!!!
