He Said the Wildcat Winkle was HIS Idea after Seeing How TF South Defended Lane’s Run Game in the Champions’ 35-0 Win Last Week.
“I Texted My Coach, I was like, ‘The Holes Are Big,’” Cole Said. ” If we can get that (look again), I can really make some moves. ‘
“So we worked on that in Practice and that what happy.”

“I’ll be honest, our game plan was to probably this a little bit more in the first half,” Lane Coach Donat Conley Said. “That’s why he didn’t get as many touches. But once we start (Seeing) Our Run Game Was Working, we decided to go ahead and let Vernon loose.”
Conley isn’t surprised to see a breakout Season from Cole, who’s also the defending public league wrestling at 165 pounds.
