Will C. Wood High School faces Napa in showdown of unbeaten football teams tonight

Yes, all games count the same. But that doesn’t diminish the importance of tonight’s football showdown between Will C. Wood and Napa high schools.

Both the Wildcats and the Indians are 6-0 overall, and 1-0 in Monticello Empire League play.

Wood is ranked No. 9 in the Sac-Joaquin Section, according to this week’s Maxpreps.com poll. Napa is No. 10.

A possible victory tonight would give Wood at least a share of the lead in the MEL, and move the Wildcats one big step closer to their first-ever league crown in football.

A victory would also give the Wildcats their first-ever seven-game winning streak to start a season, and tie for the longest winning streak in school history.

Wood won seven straight games after losing its season opener in 2013. The 1997 Wildcats won six straight game to start the year before losing three in a row and missing the playoffs.

If all those possibilities weren’t enough, the Wildcats have another bit of incentive.

“We want revenge,” running back Damon Lewis said simply.
