The Pilot Point Bearcats met the Whitesboro Bearcats on Oct. 31, with Pilot Point winning the Battle of the Bearcats 45-20.
Pilot Point piled up over 450 yards of total offense and six touchdowns on their way to beating their rival for the first time since 2021.
“Ten out of 10 on the effort scale, which is nothing new,” said Chad Worrell, Pilot Point athletic director and head football coach. “We play with effort every week, and our kids got after it, but I thought the difference between tonight and last week was that when we had mistakes, whether it be penalties or turnovers, we overcame it. That's what we preached all week. When bad things happen, you have to rally behind each other and make the next play, and we did.” Pilot Point received the opening kickoff, but the drive stalled after a couple of penalties, and they were forced to punt, giving Whitesboro the ball on its own 49-yard line.
