In an exciting first quarter at Wildcat Stadium, the Wildcats showcased their offensive prowess, taking a commanding 14-0 lead over the Jaguars. The action began with a solid punt return by David Schauer, who fielded the ball at the 42-yard line and made an impressive run into Jaguar territory, setting up a favorable field position for the Wildcats.
Quarterback Mason Burkhart, operating from a shotgun formation, effectively utilized his running back Dylan Smith, who gained significant yardage on a first down play. Despite a slightly delayed cutback, Smith's efforts kept the Wildcats moving forward. A penalty against the Jaguars then granted the Wildcats a first down at the 31-yard line.
Burkhart capitalized on this momentum, connecting with wide receiver Andrew Purcell for a touchdown on a perfectly executed post route. The successful extra point by kicker Rocha solidified the Wildcats' lead as the first quarter came to a close.
As the second quarter approaches, the Wildcats are poised to extend their lead further, demonstrating both strategic play and individual talent on the field.
