Bearcats sharpen claws in scrimmage

The Pilot Point Bearcats hit the road Aug. 13-14 to face off with Sanger for the Bearcats’ first scrimmage of the preseason.

With the official start of the season right around the corner, the scrimmage allowed the Bearcats freshmen, junior varsity and varsity teams to get full-contact reps and practice livegame scenarios.

“They responded well to that, and I thought we played really hard,” said Chad Worrell, Pilot Point athletic director and head football coach. “Our defense got better as the scrimmage went on, and we created a big turnover on the goal line to get out of a scoring threat there, so you’re always happy whenever you do that. We saw some really good things from our kids.”
