Overlooked in the Class 9A... Not by US Sep 9, 2019
The 9A Class was noticed by everyone for being STACKED! A lot of the conversation centered around Canistota/Freeman, Sully Buttes, Gregory, Howard, Wall, and others. One team, who may have fallen of the radar of others, but not ours... THE Kimball/WhiteLake WiLdKats!
They currently stand at 3-0 on the year, in second place in Region 3 behind the Gregory Gorillas, and the #9 seed in Class 9A. Their victories were over TD/A/AC/DC 44-6, Lyman 50-14, and recently Parkston 46-20.
The KWL WiLdKats seem to be a lock for the play-offs, which isn't the case this early in the season the past few years. Their upcoming schedule and performance will determine many things: seeding in the 9A, post-season Home games, and Play-Off opponents! After a Bye on Sep 13th this is how it will unfold:
Sep 20 Platte-Geddes Black Panthers
Sep 27 Bon Homme Cavaliers (State Championship Rematch)
Oct 4 Wolsey-Wessington Warbirds
Oct 11 Burker Cougars
Oct 18 Gregory Gorillas
Nothing easy about this schedule or these opponents. Nothing given and everything will be earned. I can't wait to see how it all will play out!
This team has the tools to light it up offensively and put BIG point totals on the board! They place a ton of pressure on opponents to keep pace. Here is a season look at a few of the components of the juggernaut Offense from Central South Dakota:
