2010 notes: Don't expect the move to Class 5A to slow down this fast-rising program. This strong senior class has played 30 games over the last two seasons. That playoff experience could keep the Wildcats at the top of both their district and perhaps the region. Arguably the best at his position in the state, QB Walsh (2,599 yards, 30 TDs passing; 1,563 yards, 25 TDs rushing) is an early pledge to OSU, as is DE Bean (72 tackles, 7 sacks). CB Stewart (61 tackles, 5 INTs) is an A&M pledge who was all-state as a sophomore. Meanwhile, WR Gardener (43-547, 6 TDs) has yet to decide among his college offers. Fellow WR Crane, a junior, is already getting major interest, as is OT Ferguson.
