The Pilot Point Bearcats traveled to Pottsboro to take on the Cardinals on Oct. 23 in a pivotal district matchup, with the Cardinals taking the win 35-14.

Both teams came into the game undefeated in district play, but Pottsboro’s defense held the Bearcats to 225 yards of offense and forced multiple turnovers to take over first place in the district.

“We came out playing well in the beginning,” said Chad Worrell, Pilot Point athletic director and head football coach. “We got some big stops on their first drive and had the momentum for most of the first quarter, but we knew they were going to get their points and that we were going to have to score. … We couldn’t make the plays when we needed to down the stretch.”
