Wildcats Win Season Opener

It's a big day as the Wildcats take the field for the first time this season against Cal Lutheran in McMinnville.

Linfield ended the Kingsmens' season in the first round of the playoffs last November and also avenged their season opening loss from last season to Cal Lu in Thousand Oaks.

Brent gets his first ever start for Linfield today which really kicks up the excitement level. He'll be playing DE today and for his Senior year has decided to switch to #92 in honor of his brother who wore that number at Eastern Oregon for 4 years.

One hour prior to that game the Warriors kickoff their first road game this season at Husky Stadium in Seattle. We're looking forward to that to see if these Warriors are really going to be able to make some big things happen this year.

Linfield survived an opening drive TD by CLU to win their first game, 24-14.

First-time starting QB Mickey Inns shook off some opening jitters to manage the win, mostly by handing off to RB Josh Hill and Hill's replacement Stephen Nasca.

Brent did start the game and rotated snaps with 4 other DE's. He played well and I'll update his stats when they become available.
