The Andrews Wildcats picked the perfect time to find their offensive spark. After a tough stretch to end the regular season, Andrews exploded for a season-high 42 points on Friday night, defeating the College Prep & Leadership Academy Royals 42-34 in the opening round of the playoffs.

It was a hard-fought game from start to finish, with both teams trading big plays and momentum swings. But in the end, it was the Wildcats who made the key plays down the stretch to secure the victory and keep their postseason dreams alive.

The 42-point effort was a welcome sight for Andrews fans, who have seen their team struggle to score in recent weeks. Prior to Friday, the Wildcats had been limited to 14 points or fewer in three of their last four games.

The win marks a huge turnaround from last week’s 55-14 loss to Hayesville, showing just how resilient this Andrews squad can be when it matters most.

With the victory, the Wildcats advance to the next round of the playoffs, where they’ll look to carry this newfound offensive momentum into another must-win matchup.
