A unique dynamic takes to the field each week for the Wildcats. Brothers Ryan Knostman Jr. and Brayden Knostman are getting the special experience of playing on the field alongside each other under Friday Night Lights. Ryan Knostman Jr. is a returning starter for the Wildcats and his younger brother, sophomore Brayden Knostman debuted his abilities for the varsity squad this year. To add to the dynamic both brothers are playing under the tutelage of their father Ryan Knostman the current athletic director and head football coach.
In 2004, the Wildcats had the same scenario with two brothers playing for their father. Athletic Director Rusty Buzzard coached his two sons Austin Buzzard and Bronson Buzzard. The 2004 team combined for a 11-3 record defeating George West, Gervin Academy, Runge, Louise, Poth, Jourdanton, Kenedy, Karnes City, Bloomington, Refugio, Schulenburg, and Skidmore-Tynan before succumbing to the Lexington Eagles in the third round of the UIL 2A football playoffs.
This year's team has been off to a great start and looks on pace to create a great season similar to 2004. So far, they have a 6-1 record and are 2-0 in 2A District 15 play.
