Edgewood enters Week 0 with things to prove in rematch with Northside

Cliff Williams / The Outlook Edgewood’s Alex Johnson passes against Northside.

At this time one year ago, Edgewood was celebrating its first victory in AISA play in more than two years. Now, the Wildcats will face off against the same opponent which gave them that win as they hit the road to take on Northside Methodist on Friday night.

The defeat sent the Knights to their 13th consecutive defeat and it looked like they were in for a long season after dropping their first five games. However, they showed plenty of progress in the back half of the year and now Edgewood has to prepare for a team it expects to be very improved.
