While the offense for Columbus is experienced, there are questions to be answered on the defensive side of the ball.

Although there are some questions to be answered on defense, coach Jeff Martin is optimistic about the upcoming season. This year’s squad does have last years leading tackler returning in linebacker Alex Benitez. The senior recorded 55 total tackles last year to lead the squad. Martin considers the defensive backfield to be one of his team’s strengths for the upcoming season. The defensive line will be anchored by junior defensive end Ricky Briones.

Martin encourages anyone interested in football to come out this year, adding they had an excellent camp this summer. The Wildcats, who were 3-6 a year ago, open play this season on the road at WACO on August 28th.
