Winter Park Wildcats still streaking

It took a while for the Wildcats to find their footing, but then it was off to the races as the football team demolished Hagerty 24-8 on Oct. 18.

The score was deadlocked through the first quarter after offensive misfires on both sides held them short of scoring range, but the Wildcats exploded for 14 points in the second quarter and then cruised from there.

The Huskies finally found the end zone with just a few minutes left in the game, then rubbed in their only touchdown with a two-point conversion. The Wildcats held the Huskies to less than 150 yards in the game, while Winter Park QB J.P. Colton threw for 126 yards on a 62 percent completion rate.

The Wildcats will host Oviedo this weekend in one of their toughest challenges of the season. The Wildcats will need the win to guarantee a district championship. That game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24.
