Wildkatz Fans :

Your Northwest Illinois Wildkatz Football Team but it all on the line Saturday Night in Tinley Park. Two teams that were evenly matched went head to head. The wild Katz beat the Chicago Colts 26-14. The Katz set the tone early on the running of Eugene Davis and the Offensive Line. In the first half the Katz played very smart Football and limited there mistakes to a minimum. The Second half the Katz showed a mixture of run and pass, as the talent of Julius Tucker were on display. The Katz racked up over 450 yards of offense. The Coach preaches 60 minutes. I saw about 58 minutes in this game as there were a couple of lapse (small ones) on the offensive line. I would like to contribute that to the circumstance. The humid temperature and the shortened half -time due to the Game Starting Late, and having to finish by a certain time.

The Katz are now 1-5 and have some good momentum going into their next game . It is at home, so come on out. BACK THE KATZ, THEY ARE ON A ROLL.!!!!!!

Game 5 Recap

A Great Midwest Football League game covered by Joe Fretto, Mark Guzman, and Bobby Luginbil

The game was close in the first half. At the end of the first half, a touchdown by the Wildcats gave brought it to 17-8, but Lake Shore answered at the horn to end the first half.

Julius Tucker ( Wildcats) made some nice passes. He showed some great scrambling ability.

The Wildcats have a solid passing attack. They were in a passing formation most of the game with several trips formations, as well as 5-wide formations.

Lake Shore was powered by a very balanced attack. Their running backs were fast and very evasive and caused the defensive backs to miss on various ocasions.

They were 4-0 coming into the game as their defense only allowed 50 points in five games.

Final score Lakeshore 49-14 over the Northwest Wildcats.

The game was played at the football field at Illinois Benedictine University in Lisle Illinois.

Game 3 Recap

The Wildkatz gave a outstanding effort against the Chicago Blitz. They might have been out manned a little bit but they gave it everything they had. They went airborne in the first half with the arm of Julius Tucker and slot receiver Matt Bernard. They moved the ball well between the 20 yard lines . the Chi. Blitz toughened it up in the red zone and the wildkatz just missed on a few attempts at the end zone. Defense was real strong on the Blitz with LB Demetrius tucker leading the way. The Score at the half was 0 - 0, but as I said with plenty of action on both sides. The Blitz returned the the opening kickoff of the second half for a touchdown and were good on the opening 2-point conversion for a quick 8-0 lead. The wildkatz did not fold and actually made a solid statement on their first drive. They drove the ball down the field on a run dominated drive lead by Running backs Eugene Davis and Demetrius Powell. This one -two punch opened up some short passing plays for Julius Tucker. The drive consumed over 10 minutes , but the katz stopped themselves one the 1/2 yard line with mental mistakes. A couple of other mental mistakes by the defense lead to the next score by the Blitz and the lead went to 16-0. The Katz tried there best to dig themselves out of the hole they created but could not do it. The final was 24-0. The Katz have showed a lot of improvement from a year ago and were in this one until the end. The First four games being on the road have been frustrating but the Katz will not give up.
