Wildcats clawed out the Coogs at the Patriotic Game

The rival Tomball schools went face to face in an exciting four quarters for this years Patriotic Game. As an event, it was a rousing success with a sellout crowd that was on its feet for most of the night.

The Wildcats and Coogs were neck and neck most of the game until the fourth quarter took quite the turn. Tomball Memorial took the last and final blow and won it all 27-21.

During halftime the crowd enjoyed a riveting show consisting of both schools bands, color guard, choirs, cheerleaders and dance teams. After these performances we honored veterans, watched fireworks and watched skydivers bring in the American flag.

The Coogs will be back in action this Thursday against Klein Forest at Klein Memorial stadium.
