The Wildcats bounced back from a 4-6 campaign in 2014 with an impressive 8-2 mark in 2015. It just wasn’t quite enough to get them into the post-season.
Their two losses, to Plant and Sickles, cost them in Class 7A District 8. Those two teams will continue on in the playoffs (despite having the same 8-2 overall record as Wharton), while the Wildcats will have to be content with a strong campaign.
Still, it was one of their best seasons, and first eight-win mark since 2012. Wharton also racked up 313 points, most in their district.
And even though they missed the playoffs, they finished strong, with a 42-0 win over Leto on Oct. 23 and a season-capping 38-22 win over Chamberlain on Nov. 6.
