The Bath County Foot-
ball Wildcats, flush follow-
ing their season opener
win over Fairview Indepen-
dent, held their first home
game last Friday again the
Knott County Central Cav-
aliers. They were unable
to overcome the Cavaliers
solid passing game, de-
spite a second-half come-
back, as they fell 38-33.
The Wildcats had origi-
nally been scheduled to
play Jenkins Independent
last week, but Jenkins can-
celled due to COVID-19,
and Knott County Central
was able to schedule as
their first game of the sea-
son.
The Wildcats scored ear-
ly in the lst quarter with
a 39 yard touchdown run
by Quentin Lewis, but this
was answered by Knott
Central with a touchdown
and 2—point conversion, 7-8.
Knott Central scored
again in the 2nd quarter
with another touchdown
and 2-point conversion.
After the Wildcat of-
fense switched to a passing
game, the Cavalier defense
managed to pick off a pass
from quarterback Jacob
Easton. They scored an-
other touchdown with 2
minutes on the clock.
The Wildcats quickly an-
swered this with another
touchdown on a 46 yard
pass and run by Hunter
McCoy.
Knott Central stuck with
their passing game and
scored another touchdown
with 39 seconds left, bring-
ing the score at half-time to
30-13.
The Wildcats got anoth-
er touchdown early in the
third quarter, but this was
again quickly answered
by another Knott Central
touchdown pass at 5:35,
with the score at 38-19
Easton ran in a touch-
down early in the 4th quar-
ter, followed by a 2—point
conversion by Lewis,
bringing the score, 38-27,
With another touchdown
by Lewis at 6:31, 38-33.
After this the game
reached a defensive stale—
mate, with each team shut-
ting down the others’ pass-
ing game until the clock
ran out.
Jacob Easton com-
pleted 10 of 31 passes for
206 yards for the game.
Hunter McCoy received 2
passes for 53 yards and a
TD. Zach Otis received 1
pass for 50 yards, Derek
Butcher was 3 for 49 yards,
Jordan Everman was 2 for
42 yards, and Jack Wilson
was 2 for 12 yards.
The Wildcats added
233 rushing yards on the
night. Quentin Lewis led
in rushing again with 20
carries for 170 yards and
3 ’I‘Ds. Carter Hart had 9
carries for 41 yards, and
Easton had 3 carries for 21
yards and a TD.
Bryson Stigall was able
to complete a single extra
point on the night.
Defensive stats were un-
able as the News-Outlook
went to press this week,
but during the game
Hayden Meeks and Jack
Wilson both had quarter-
back sacks on the night.
The Wildcats were
scheduled to host Powell
County this Friday eve-
ning, but due to the KH-
SAA’s COVID cancella-
tion policy, Powell County
was forced to forfeit this
week’s game, for a Bath
County win.
At press time this week
the next scheduled game
for the Wildcats is Septem-
ber 17 on the road again
Lewis County.
