On Thurs., Oct. 27, 2011, the Montgomery County Wildcats will end their 2011 season at Jim Blacklock Field. Although the 2011 season has not turned out as successful as the players or coaches would have liked, tonight is an opportunity to celebrate and support our football seniors. These young men have done a lot for our football program this season and deserve our support tonight as they take the field of battle.
