Both teams were undefeated until that match, but the Bobcats never gave up and made it to the City Championship for the third time in a row, agianst The Horace Mann bearcats. The Bobcats were ferious coming into the game, because of the upset Horace Mann had caused a few games earlier. With a fantastic half-time speech from Coach Mundy, the Bobcats showed no one was good enough to play them. They defeated the bearcats in a blowout of 36-0.
Most of the players have gone to Little Rock Central High School, some to Parkview High School, and others to Hall High School.
