The Cassville Wildcats will certainly give Monett a run for their money in the big 8.  In fact, it was the Cubs who handed Cassville its only loss in overtime of the district championship game.  Coach Large returns 20 letterman, but few with starting experience, so the young players will need to catch on quickly.  Jake Nolan returns for his 3rd year under center.  Ethan Couch leads a hard hitting defense and Aaron Jamison may be the next division 1 kicker to come out of Cassville.  This team has experienced heart breaking losses each of the last 2 seasons, but that's a thing of the past.  Hear coach Large's full interview above.
