Wildcats go scoreless in game two

The Wildcats struggled to find their rhythm in a 42-0 loss to the Anderson Trojans last week, a stiff early season test for a roster rebuilding under new leadership.

Elgin’s defense had trouble containing Anderson’s passing attack in its second game of the season Sept. 5. The Wildcats allowed 158 yards and three touchdowns on just three completions from Trojan junior quarterback Cove Darbyshire. 

“Ultimately, we gave up a couple of big plays in the pass game,” head coach Rich Lucero said. “We didn’t cash in on a couple of opportunities, but those are growing pains. We’re working with new quarterbacks, and everything is brand new to them.”
