Kennedale is on a five-game streak of home wins, while Celina is on a four-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. A feisty cat fight will be fought when the Kennedale Wildcats take on the Celina Bobcats at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Kennedale is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They took down Southwest 25-8.
This one was won in the trenches and the lion's share of the credit has to go to Riley Bingham and Laurrence Watkins. Bingham rushed for 58 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries while Watkins rushed for 83 yards on only 11 carries. Bingham is becoming a predictor of Kennedale's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 5-2 (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
Kennedale wouldn't let Southwest keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Kennedale can thank Aidan Ruiz and William ?Mitchell? Mcbroom for forcing both of them. ?Mitchell? Mcbroom also set a new season high mark in total tackles with 11. Kennedale got some further help from Gavin Godley: he picked up a sack and made 12 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Celina). They breezed by Wilmer-Hutchins to the tune of 75-0 on Thursday. Considering the Bobcats have won ten games by more than 21 points this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Kennedale has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven contests, which provided a nice bump to their 6-5 record this season.
