2020 REVIEW
Cassville has become one of the most consistent programs in the state. The Wildcats finished last season 10-3 and made it to the state semifinals, before falling to Maryville 30-28. It’s the second straight season they’ve won 10+ games, going 22-6 overall the last two seasons. “The best part of last year was having a complete season,” coach Parnell says, “With all the uncertainty surrounding the past year, it was nice to have some normalcy on Friday nights.” Yeah, we couldn’t agree more. “I was really proud of the way our football team handled all of the distractions and came to work each day to get better. The support we received from our parents, community and school administration was awesome as we navigated through the many changes that 2020 presented. Our guys never made any excuses or complained. They just did what was needed of them to give us the best opportunity to be successful.” The Wildcats graduated some talented kids, including Zach Coenen (Pitt State), Jaiden Reibert (Evangel), Drake Reese (MSSU) and Hayden Sink (MSSU) who are all playing at the next level.
