Pete’s Pigskin Preview: Littlefield Wildcats
2025: 8-3, made playoffs
LITTLEFIELD, Texas (KCBD) - The Littlefield Wildcats were off a hot 6-0 start last season, which included a 49-47 nailbiter win over Lamesa, a 31-28 victory at Abernathy, and a 35-21 win over also-unbeaten Coahoma. Once district play began, injuries also became a factor. However, the Wildcats were able to finish 8-3 with a 50-26 win over rival Muleshoe and a 49-28 win over Roosevelt.
With QB Sammy Saenz expecting to connect with WR Jayden Barrio for touchdowns even more this year, head coach Bo Bryant is excited to see what this upcoming season will bring for Littlefield.
“We got several coming back on both sides of the ball. I think we have eight returning starters on offense and six or seven on defense, so I think that’s really going to help us out this year having those guys come back,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of guys on the line and the skill positions coming back, so hopefully that’ll pay off for us.”
Coach Bryant knows “Wildcat Magic” and the long history that goes with it.
“These kids see it every day when they walk into that field house. You got pictures up of championship teams and the guys that came before them. The community expects to win every Friday night, so expectations are high,” he said. “Tradition here is giving great effort, having a good attitude and working hard every single day. And that’s kind of what we preach a lot to our kids.”
Other key returners include: Jonas Camacho, AJ Cantu, Jacob Fuentes, James Lockridge, Diego Lopez, Elijah Rodriguez, Blayton Soliz, and CJ Weaver.
