In a season plagues by injuries to her team and Mother Nature doing her part to disrupt the schedule, Wildcats head soccer coach Lisa Feltner continues to look for the silver lining.

Last week, a much-anticipated match-up with longtime rival and state powerhouse Brossart was called off not once, but twice. The originally scheduled clash was set to take place last Tuesday, but impending bad weather delayed the game to the following day. In yet another twist of misfortune, a scheduling conflict with the referee's forced the game to be postponed yet again and a make-up date is tentatively scheduled for later this month.

The Ladycats traveled to bowling green to compete in the Purples Classic Tournament on Friday, August 29. The first match was played later that day against Ballard County. The Ladycats would lose in a score of 1-4. The lone goal was scored by Senior, Tori Fitzpatrick with an assist from Junior, Katelyn Meadows.

The next two matches would be played the following day, Saturday, September 1. The first game was against bowling green. The Ladycats would take another loss in a score of 0-7. The Ladycats keeper Junior, Katie Gaskins saved over 40 shots taken. The second game was played against Bethlehem. The Ladycats would continue their losing streak with a score of 0-6.

Over the weekend the Ladycats were short players, due to sickness and injury, and had to rotate into different positions. They tried to adjust but couldn’t pull it together.  The effort was there but they had to play more defensively against the quicker teams and were unable to transition to offense.

The Wildcats did what a good athletic host team should do.  Provide a nice play for the other team to compete but then beat them. With Campbell County visiting the Pendleton Country Club, the Cats welcomed them and then proceeded to beat them PC 164 CC 173, a solid 9-stroke victory.

The Pendleton County Wildcats are 0-4 on the season after losing games to Cincinnati County Day and Morgan County the last couple of weeks.

The Wildcats first took on Cincinnati Country Day. It was their home opener on Friday, August 31. Pendleton County was down in the first half but came back in the third quarter and took the lead.

"Our guys played great second half. We just put ourselves into too big of a hole first half to come back from," Wildcat head coach Terry Brown said. "We fought back to take the lead but couldn't hang onto the lead."

Pendleton County Midgets beat Grant County Blue 28-6 in their first regular season game.  The Midgets played great on both sides of the ball.  The defense shut down Grant County until late in the fourth quarter.  The defensive play was led by Colton Turner on the line, who created a lot of pressure in the backfield.
