Piedmont building confidence after win
Heading into last Friday’s game against Western Heights, it was clear that the Piedmont Wildcats were battle-tested.
After scrimmages against Kingfisher and Guthrie, then opening games against Deer Creek and Harrah, the Wildcats of first-year coach Craig Church needed a confidence boost.
It came with a 42-12 win over the Jets, behind 254 passing yards and five touchdowns from quarterback Collin Bricker. Running back Cassius Calhoun added 76 yards and a TD on the ground, as well as a receiving score.
“Those guys have been good for us, but we have different faces stepping up each week, and that’s what feels good,” Church said. “We feel like we’re gaining some confidence.”
Receiver Christian Foster and offensive lineman Jacob Harris are among the other players giving Piedmont a boost.
In a challenging District 4A-1, the Wildcats know the schedule will be tough, starting with Elgin this week.
