However, as the season wore on both new coach Greg Neece and his charges grew more comfortable in their new roles and earned a playoff spot out of old district 18-3A. Beginning this year, the Wildcats will play in always tough 10-2A-I. However, they are ready to show that they definitely belong.[b][u][size=14pt]Coaching Staff[/u][/b][size=12pt][b]Head Coach: Greg Neece[/b]Coaching Record: 2-9 at Kirbyville and overall[b]Assistant Coaches:[/b]Kenny Washington, Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers; Dr. James Herron, Secondary; Jeff Smith, Defensive Ends/Special Teams; Brady McMillon, Defensive Tackles; Chris Coats, Offensive Line; Randy Jones, Tight Ends; David Ford, Wide Receivers; Chris Arbelaez, Running Backs[b][u][size=14pt]Stadium Information*[/u][/b][size=12pt][b]Home Stadium: Wildcat Stadium[/b]Address: S.

Also carrying the ball will be senior wingback Clayton Sexton (2nd team all district, 433 yd rushing, 5 TD in 2011) and Brycton Hughey. Senior receivers Quinton Jacko (1st team all district, 466 yd, 5 TD in 2011), and Darion Cooper (2nd tream all district) will team with senior tight end Thomas Thibodeaux to form the Wildcat receiver squad. They'll be operating behind an offensive line that includes returning starters senior tackle Jacob Keene (1st team all district), senior guard Cody Pipes (2nd team all district) and junior center Daylon Nichols. They'll be joined by senior tackle Marcus Vidal. [size=14pt][b][u]2012 Defense[/u][/b][/size][size=12pt][b]Defense: 4-2-5[/b]While the return of a veteran defense guarantees marked improvement, it appears that a new face could make the difference. Neece is sure that with new defensive coordinator Kenny Washington, that the Wildcat defense will be schematically sound with a renewed emphasis on gang tackling. Those that will be ready to put Coach Wshington's theories to practical use on the defensive line are returning starters Josh Breed, Willie Dodson (2nd team all district, 3 sacks, 8 tackles for loss in 2011), Jacob Keene (2nd team all district) and Marcus Vidal (2nd team all district). Also contributing up front will be junior Philip Millan. The linebacker corp, which will feature senior defensive captian Harrell Brooks (2nd team all district, 100 tackles in 2011), will also include Hughey and Kristian Kirbow. Kirbyville will feature a very athletic secondary that will include strong safety Jacko (1st team linebacker in 2011, 50 tackles, 3 caused fumbles), free safety Sexton (2nd team defense, 87 tackles, 2 INT), cornerbacks Heywood and senior Darion Cooper (57 tackles in 2011). They will be joined by junior Brandon Rodriguez.[size=14pt][b][u]2012 Special Teams[/u][/b][/size]Senior Rafael Briz will handle the place kicking chores while Haywood will do the punting. Haywood will also team with Jacko and Sexton as the primary kick returners. Neece did note that he will look to see improvement in both the kickoff and punt coverage teams this year.[size=14pt][b][u]2012 Key Games[/u][/b][/size]Kirbyville starts off the season a day earlier than mosst as they will take on Cleveland at Provost-Umphrey Stadium at Lamar on August 30th. The Wildcats will host Anahuac in their 10-2A-I district opener on September 28th with a game at rival Newton on October 5th.
