Guard Norah Gessert going for the steal against the Bellevue West Thunderbirds. Gessert intercepted the pass from number eight. Millard West was up 38-23. She would then go for a fastbreak ending in a layup to put the Wildcats up 40-23. “They contribute in a lot of ways,” Kruger said. “One way they contribute is the obvious on the court production that you see, in points, rebounds, block shots and steals. They have had a big step up from last year.”

Senior defensive end Trey Mittelstedt (58) celebrates after a clutch sack on Omaha North junior quarterback Sebastion Circo. Mettelstedt, and the entire Wildcat defense held Circo to just 135 passing yards, and the rest of the Viking offense to 97 rushing yards. “I knew the pressure would eventually get there,” Mettelstedt said. “We are very talented up front, so as long as we followed through, we would hit home and make those plays.”

The Wildcats season was stopped in the first round of playoffs this year. Coaches saw some things that led to this loss. “Defensively, they got a little too much push on us up front and we missed too many chances to make plays during the course of the game, said head coach Kirk Peterson. “Offensively, we didnt score when we had chances and we had plenty. Thats what is so frustrating about losing a game like that, we had our chances and didnt take advantage of them.”
