The Wildcats had an incomplete pass on fourth down, and the Cougars called for a timeout on third. The score was 13-0 at halftime, with the Wildcats taking the lead.
“I feel like we definitely could have done better, but we are still getting the hang of it, so we should be good when we get back from break,” Lexie Potts, sophomore, said.
