As the season is underway the Washington Wildcats came into the game 1-0 after last week's win over Sumner. In the second week they faced the Harmon Hawks at home. The Wildcats started the game with the ball, the first couple of plays were a bit shaky but quarterback Ja’Quarey Williams scrambled for a 44 yard touchdown. That was the play that ultimately set the momentum for the Wildcats.  As a defensive lineman I, Ja’Mon Stallings came out with the first tackle of the game, resorting in a 3 yard loss for the Hawks.  Defensive end Ryan Edwards had a sack that forced the hawks to punt after 3 plays.

The Hawks offense struggled early with everything resulting in either a tackle for loss or a sack. Going into the half the Wildcats were up 31-0 but still had a lot to work on. In the second half they came out with that spark that they were missing in the first half. Freshman Safety Nick Carter had a 32 yard fumble recovery that ended in a touchdown and 2 interceptions making him the state interception leader.  Wideout Xavier Powell ended the game with 102 yards and 2 touchdowns. Sophomore Savion Stone racked up 2 touchdowns on the ground. Shon Williams, the sophomore linebacker, caught an interception and ran with it for 35 yards before being brought down.

Although Harmon tried their best, they are now on a 7 year losing streak to the Wildcats dating back to 2016 and have not scored in the matchup since 2019. Come back next week to see how the Washington Wildcats perform against the Bonner Springs Braves.
