After a 49-42 win against Hallsville on October 17, the SSHS Wildcats have a positive outlook for playoffs. “This victory pretty much put us in the driver’s seat to control our own destiny,” defensive coach Abron said. “But when it’s all said and done, we still need to go and win these last three more ball games to put ourselves in a position to play the number two seed of our district.
