Cats Finish Season
The Washington Demons showed exactly how they went 8-1 in the regular season as they dominated the Wildcats 49-15 in Class 3A first round playoff action. The game was played in Washington and in a steady downpour throughout the night. The Cats finish the season with a 4-6 record and for the third year in a row bowed out of the playoffs in the first round.
Offense was tough to come by until late in the second half. KC McMullen carried the ball a season high 30 times en route to 134 yards and one touchdown. Ty Erb had 50 yards on seven carries (including a TD) while quarterback Jordan Pierce had just 5 yards on 15 carries. Pierce went 1-7 in the passing game with his lone eight yard completion going to classmate Brian Robertson.
The Wildcat defense did not hold up their end of the bargain as Washington rushed for 304 yards on 42 carries including six rushing touchdowns. The Demons were also 3-3 in the air for 89 yards including an 80 yard touchdown strike on a blown assignment. Chase Shannahan found himself at the top of the tackle chart with nine solos and nine assists. Spencer Endecott finished out his career with three solo stops and seven assists. Andrew Hill had nine stops while other leaders on the tackle chart were Brian Robertson with seven stops and Jake Epp with six. Robertson also forced a fumble that was recovered by senior Devon Wenthe.
The coaching staff would like to thank the 11 seniors for all of their countless hours of dedication and commitment to the program. Seniors include Jacob Klier, Spencer Endecott, Trevor Joiner, Bryce Moulton, Tyler Henderson, Joey Hinds, Zethan Wyckoff, Colton Farrell, Jake Epp, Bradley Hydorn, and Devon Wenthe.

Cats Outclaw Panthers to Win 28-7
The Carlisle varsity football team is used to facing adversity. In their Class 3A District 8 match-up with Knoxville there was plenty of just that. The teams took the field an hour and half early due to the impending weather and Knoxville jumped out to an early 7-0 lead behind an 87 yard catch and run on Knoxville's third play from scrimmage. This would be all the scoring that Panthers would muster as Carlisle would dominate the time of possession clock en route to a 28-7 victory. The Wildcat offense put several scoring drives together to take the ball out of the Panthers' hands. The Cats gained 438 yards on the night. Junior Ty Erb rushed for 126 tough yards on 20 carries while scoring 3 TD's. Backfield mate KC McMullen picked up 74 yards on 74 carries and several key first downs to keep drives alive. Sophomore Mason Henrichs also got in on the rushing attack with 4 carries for 17 yards.
Sophomore quarterback Jordan Pierce accounted for nearly 200 yards of total offense as he rushed for 38 yards on nine carries and also went 10 of 16 in the passing department. His two favorite receivers were senior receiver Jake Epp who caught 3 balls for 85 yards (including a 55 yard TD) and junior tight end Noah Smith who also reeled in three catches for 65 yards. Senior Jacob Klier finished with two catches for 10 yards while McMullen and Erb both had one reception for 15 and 11 yards respectively.
Despite giving up the big play to start the game, the Carlisle defense settled in and played assignment sound football, limiting the Panthers to just 170 yards of offense on 46 plays the rest of the evening. Linebackers Spencer Endecott led on the tackle chart with 12 and 9 tackles. Epp and Erb both finished with five stops while sophomore Andrew Hill had a sack. Junior cornerback Henry Sanders had an interception and several other pass break-ups.
