Semi-pro football team kicks off season today at Memorial Stadium

[landrus13]

The West Central Wildcats kick off their season tonight against the Indiana Generals at Memorial Stadium. The game starts at 7pm and admission is only $5. The Wildcats finished last season at 9-2 losing both games to the Generals who finished at 12-0. The Wildcats consists of ISU grads, and several former Vigo County football superstars that played at Terre Haute North, West Vigo, and Northview.

What kind of crowd was there?

 

[landrus13]

The crowd was decent sized, it was nowhere near what it was like at the ISU games.

 

[football fan]

We attended the game and it was very entertaining. I really enjoyed watching some of the old Terre Haute North players that I hadn't seen in awhile. Everyone should come out and support the teams. Great family entertainment for just a little cash. It was really good football and has me in the mood now for the season to start!

Had the time off my life out there Saturday night im really glad the team asked me to come out and play. We have another game Saturday at 7 at Rose-Hulman. Come out and watch some great football. Theres no reason this team cant be the rex of TH football!

I saw you out there Logan. You have a very strong leg and the field goal was awesome. That team has the potential to be very good, their defense has to get timely stops.

 

[sycamores2]

The defense played very well. The Qb from the generals apparently played with the Detroit Lions practice squad for a few years so we werent surprised that we were picked on some. We think we have a good shot at running the table in our league this year!

 

[landrus13]

The defense did play well, but it seemed as if the Generals had the ball the entire 2nd quarter. The offense is spectacular,IMO. And I didn't know that their QB was on the Lions, that is pretty cool.

The crowd was decent sized, it was nowhere near what it was like at the ISU games.

Now there's a real positive endorsement if I ever saw one ?????????????

:beat:

 

[sycamores2]

The crowd wasnt bad at all, I was happy with the four to five hundred people there. I think Landrus is just comparing it to the thousands at ISU games. Everyone I have talked to was amazed at what they saw. None of them expected the level of play that they got to see and said that they will be coming back Saturday.

 

[landrus13]

Yeah the crowd was energetic and into the game the whole time.

We a game tmrw at 7 at Rose Hulman, tailgating is at 5. Come watch some good football for 5 bucks!
