Wildcats to play at Marysville The Holton Wildcats (4-2) will travel to Marysville Friday on a mission to do something no other team has been able to do, so far. That is, beat the Bull- dogs. The Bulldogs (6-0) are com- ing off of a 60-28 win over Roy- al Valley. Before that, the Bulldogs beat Wamego 20-17, Sabetha 40-32, Concordia 28-12, Clay Center 54-31 and Chapman 34-22. The Bulldogs are the top ranked team in Kansas Class 3A and have control of the District 4 group of six teams. The top four teams of each 3A district advance to the playoffs. Holton is in the hunt to be the second or third ranked District 4 team. The top two would have the opportunity to host a first- round playoff game. Holton lost its first game of the season and then reeled off four straight wins before Sabetha came to town last Friday to play the Wildcats and left town with a 35-13 win.
