The Willis Wildkats demonstrated their dominance on Friday night by defeating the Conroe Tigers 63-7 at Moorhead Stadium, enhancing their record to 8-0. The Wildkats immediately established control, amassing 521 yards of total offense, including 276 yards through the air from senior quarterback Jack Emerson, with a nearly sold-out crowd cheering them on.
Emerson demonstrated his ability to adapt to the position of primary quarterback by completing 15 of 20 passes and slinging four touchdowns following the graduation of National Player of the Year DJ Lagway. On the third play of the contest, senior Terri Lawrence III sprinted 54 yards for an early touchdown, kicking off the explosive offense to a fast start.
In the first quarter, Emerson connected with four-star recruit Jermaine Bishop Jr. for two touchdown passes. Bishop, who has been extended offers from esteemed institutions such as USC and Texas, also made a valuable contribution on the defensive side, recording multiple tackles and an interception.
The Wildkats dominated the contest, scoring in every phase, including a touchdown from Kendrick Evans on a blocked punt and an interception return for a touchdown by Daylion Robinson. Conroe managed a brief score from SMU commit Dramekco Green. The Wildkats anticipate their final regular-season contests against Oak Ridge and Grand Oaks with their unbeaten streak intact.
