TDFN: Pound High School Wildcats

POUND WILDCATS

Coach Chris Crabtree
Pound High School

Outlook: Last year was a rough one for the Wildcats. And according to Pound coach Chris Crabtree, last year no longer exists. “We’ve moved on,” Crabtree said. This season won’t be any easier for Pound, but improved team chemistry and the leadership of senior defensive end/tight end Eric Bolling should keep the Wildcats in games. Meanwhile, Crabtree has Pound believing it can compete in the tough Lonesome Pine District, and that confidence should go a long way in removing any leftover memories from 2007.
