2007 SCHSL FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS
The 2007 Wildcats traveled to Gaffney Friday night to take on the 2-Time State Champion Indians in the opening round of the 4A Football Playoffs.  For the 1st 28 minutes of the game, the Cats stood toe to toe with a team they were given no chance of competing with...but they did!!  After swapping punts, Gaffney took over on their 1 where #72 Zach Mendenhall dropped a great kick.  The Indians turned loose their vaunted power running attack & pounded upfield, scoring on a 14 yd TD run with 2:01 left in the 1st & took a 7 - 0 lead.  Back came the Wildcats!!  Behind the hard running of #20 Xavier Salley, #35 Anthony Carden & #12 Tradd Hunter.  Aided by a 4th & 7 completion for a 1st down to #34 WR Reese Taylor, the Cats "O" ground down the Gaffney "D" to a 1st & goal at the 8.  #20 Salley bolted in for a 6 yd TD & #9 Tanner Osborne tied the game at 7 - 7!!  WHOOOEEE...we got ourselves a ballgame!!!  Not so fast...with 2:00 left in the half on the ensuing kickoff, the Indians found a seam & ran it back to the Lexington 33.  Gaffney scored with 19 seconds remaining & at the half led 14 - 7.
