The Wayne County Wildcats are celebrating their first ever BlueCross Bowl Championship with a 27-14 win over defending Class 1A champions South Pittsburg. Wildcat QB Austin Rice led the way compiling over 200 yards on the ground, 214 to be exact. Their offense racked up a total of 274 total yards on the ground.

The Wildcats capped a great season (14-0) with the 1A title that will join the schools two other state championships in basketball this year and 2001.

The Wayne County Wildcats will advance to their very first Class-A TSSAA BlueCross Championship game in Cookeville after a convincing 33-0 rout of West Carroll Friday night before a standing room only crowd.

The Wildcats struck early in the first quarter on a 69-yard pass from Austin Rice to Haden Skelton with 8:57 showing on the clock giving Wayne County a 7-0 lead and the half would end with the Wildcats up by that 7-0 margin.

The third quarter would be big for the home team, QB Austin Rice scores for the Wildcats with 4:15 to play on a 22-yard run and the Wayne County led 13-0. With 1:05 left in the third Haden Skelton scores for the second time in the game on a 4-yard run and the Cats took a commending lead 19-0 and with 10.5 seconds left Zack Clayton intercepted a War Eagles pass at their 22 and took it to pay dirt, their 19^th point in the quarter, giving Wayne County a 26-0 commending lead going into the final quarter.

In the fourth the Wildcat defense kept the pressure on West Carroll’s offense while adding another score set up by a 51-yard run by Clint Bulter to the War Eagle 11. On the very next play Nick Horton goes over right tackle eleven-yards making the score 33-0 with 7:55 to play.

The Wildcats run their record to (13-0) and will now face South Pittsburg (12-2) who defeated Gordonsville 32-14 in the Class-A title game next Friday. South Pittsburg scored 18 unanswered points in the second half to pull from a 14-14 halftime deadlock.
