The 2011 Wildcats wrap up their season with the annual team banquet


Last Friday (Dec 9th) your 10-1 Linfield Wildcats capped off their fantastic 2011 season by getting together at McMinnville's Covenant Church off of 2nd street to toast the accomplishments of another exciting year in the 'Catdome.  During the night the 'Cats Coach Smith reflected on the season, thanked the players, support staff, and each member of this great coaching staff and their families for everything they put into the program.  Then, the 'Cats enjoyed a robust meal while enjoying the debut of the 2011 Linfield Football Highlight DVD.  From there, the programed moved into the team awards (both "awards" handed out by the Seniors and the actual team awards) and the night wrapped up with the staff recognizing the 2011 senior class.  The banquet is always a great time and 2011 was no different.  A great way to wrap a season that will be remember for the 'Catdome faithful for a long time.

Kyle Wright sure does deserve a lot of recognition on special teams. Seems like every kick off he was involved in the tackle. I do believe that was what Christan Hanna was doing of a few years ago.
