There's no place like home for the holidays. Well, that may well be true. The Panthers, 7-3 for the year, tied for second in the Santa Teresa Division of the Blossom Valley Athletic League and enter the playoffs as the No. 8 seed in the division. But Cattolico isn't about to let his Wildcats take the Panthers lightly. I told the kids that right now everybody is 0-0.
Nobody has a better record than anybody else.
And Cattolico knows that the Panthers can move the football. Plus, Jordan Williams can throw the football. The senior quarterback has thrown for 1,200 yards and a dozen touchdowns to complement Washington's 1,000 yards rushing. And that won't be easy, because they're huge up front. But for a defense that's allowed just over seven points a game in 10 victories, maybe the task doesn't sound all that daunting.
