The 7-3 Sweetwater High School Wildcats have momentum on their side.

Three weeks ago Sweetwater Head Coach Craig Moser's team was struggling to win a quarter, let alone a game, but they now are in prime position to start the 2012 playoffs.

"We didn't know where we would end up, but we thought it could be the number four seed. Now we'll get a home game for the fans to come see. I'm proud of these guys. We're playing tough right now," said Moser.

After rattling off two wins in as many weeks, the Wildcats have become one of the hottest teams in the 3A bracket. Eli Arwood has performed well the past two games, racking up more than 300 yards rush­ing in the process.

The Wildcats have out­scored their opponents 42-6 and as good as the offense has been in recent weeks, the defense has been better.

The Wildcats are now only giving up 12 points a game. An impressive stat since they held Sequoyah who was averaging 36 points, to just a touch­down.

The relentless attack by this defense should be noted. There are always guys around the football, whether its eight or nine in the box before the snap, or just that many blitzing from all angles. The Wildcat defensive schemes have made it easier on the offense.

Tyner Academy will stroll onto Carter Field with an 8-2 record, feeling no doubt slighted by the number five seed appointed by the TSSAA.

The Rams are averaging 28 points a game in 2012. However, it seems the better the opposing offense, the better the Wildcat defense plays.

The pressure up front by Zack Neil, Jarren Turpeinen and Arwood have allowed for more big plays in the secondary as seen by Nick Wicker's game saving interception in last week's contest.

The defense will be excited for this challenge and the home fans should be ready for a good show. This defense wants to show Tyner exactly what they are messing with Friday night.
