Edgar faces unbeaten Mondovi in Division 6 rematch
The Wildcats travel to face the Division 6 No. 1-ranked Buffaloes while managing injuries and defensive communication concerns.
Edgar will travel to face unbeaten Mondovi in a critical early-season game that revives last season’s Division 6 state semi-final. The Wildcats defeated Mondovi 21-14 in that meeting before reaching their third consecutive state championship game.
The matchup presents a major test for Edgar after a late 6-3 loss to Stratford. The Wildcats are managing multiple injuries from that game, including among players in the secondary, although the supplied report does not provide a full injury list or return timelines.
Edgar coach Jerry Sinz said the team would use the roughly two-hour journey for positional review and preparation. He described the road trip as an opportunity for players to work together and sharpen their understanding of their responsibilities.
Mondovi enters the game unbeaten and ranked No. 1 in Division 6, according to the source report. Its offence is led by junior quarterback Bode Faulkner, alongside a highly regarded wide receiver, running back and slot receiver.
Sinz said defensive communication would be central to Edgar’s chances of containing Mondovi’s attack. He has urged the Wildcats to become more vocal after the Stratford defeat, as they prepare for what he called a substantial challenge against a group of highly regarded junior players.
