Coalgate returns to the field with a determined and experienced offense. Under the guidance of head coach Zac Cater, the Wildcats are looking to improve significantly from last season. “Our guys have put in a lot of work this offseason and have really bought in to what we are doing. We are looking for our numbers to grow quite a bit and have a lot of people coming back,” Cater said. The offense will be led by standout wide receiver Tristin Trevathan (6-0, 155, Jr.), who had 1,400 total yards and 14 touchdowns last season. Alongside Trevathan, key offensive players include wide receiver Tate Diaz (6-2, 150, Jr.), who recorded 50 receptions for 950 yards and six touchdowns, and running back Rowdy Hemphill (5-9, 190, So.), who carried the ball 130 times for 458 yards and six touchdowns. The offensive line will be anchored by returning starters NeKoda Wainscott (5-11, 260, Jr.) and Kyler Woods (5-6, 190, So.). “Base Offense is the spread; make the defense defend every blade of grass,” Cater added. With nine returning starters on offense, the Wildcats are poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming season.
