The balanced Wildcats ran for 214 yards and passed for 197 yards against Siloam Springs. Senior Devonte Battles ran 18 times for 140 yards and two scores and caught two passes for 29 yards and a TD.

"Our execution isn't where it needs to be," Shelton said. "We've got to learn to take care of the ball and not turn it over at critical junctions."
