Tonight is a big night for the Bearcats - predictions indicated that tonight's game against the Sikeston Bulldogs will be one of the most challenging of the season  The Bearcats have a full roster and from all indications, they are excited and ready to play football.

The Starting lineups for tonight's contest will remain much the same as previous weeks.  Aside from a few bumps and bruises, the Bearcats are healthy.

Defensively, the Bearcats will face a huge challenge of speed with the Bulldogs.  That quickness combined with the multiple fake hand-offs will be tough for the 'Cats to determine who has the football.  But, the Bearcat defense has proven themselves to be able to rise to the occasion thus far and should provide a roadblock for the 'Dogs.

Offensively, the Bearcat will need to eliminate some of the mistakes from last weeks game.  The execution of the offense was outstanding, but penalties nullified what would have been several great plays by the offensive unit in the second half last week.  

Look for some great action from quarterback Cody Stevens as he leads the offense tonight.  Stevens has shown great running ability and an arm that needs to be respected by opponents.
