The Novi Wildcat Football Clan has truly been blessed this season. Playing 8 home games and winning them all against some of the best competition around the state have created memories that will be talked about for the rest of our lives. 

I scratch my head when I think about what this team has accomplished so far. The three home playoff wins featured teams that had a combined record of 27-3, before the Cats sent them packing. 

In addition, Novi defeated Chelsea and South Lyon at home during the regular season and both of those teams advanced to the playoffs. 

There’s nothing quite like the “Friday Night Feeling” that HS Football engenders. Large crowds gather and the community becomes one, collectively riding the roller coaster of emotions that athletic contests routinely serve up. 

And as the season progressed, each game became increasingly more meaningful, every play on the field became much more significant, and our minds began to wander and dream. 

On one note it’s sad to think our seniors have played their last game in “Wildcat Country.” We got a little spoiled this year…Eight home games!? Some years, there have been only four. So, lets count our blessings. 

This senior class will leave a legacy that will forever be remembered in the annals of Novi Wildcat football. They’ve beaten cross-town rivals, conquered their KVC nemesis, and they’ve played an exciting brand of football that makes even the casual observer smile. Our sons have done us proud, no one can deny that. 

The home version of the game may be over…But, the rest of the season is still very much alive. 

Let’s count our blessings… That “Friday Night Feeling” lives on.
