Midlothian Heritage beats Kennedale, climbs Class 4A football state AP poll
A third times a charm for Midlothian Heritage in its meeting with Kennedale on Friday. After the Jaguars failed to beat the Wildcats the past two years in the playoffs, they won in Week 2 in a big way.
The Jaguars got out to a 28-0 lead before Kennedale scored. They won 35-7.
Heritage forced three turnovers and held the run-heavy Wildcats to just 79 yards rushing. The Jaguars also held Kennedale to its fewest points in nearly five years.
The last time the Wildcats were held to seven points was Sept. 27, 2013. They had scored in double figures in 64-straight games.
For its dominant performance, unranked Heritage jumps to No. 7 in the latest Class 4A AP poll.
