The Wildcats won their second straight conference title in the Prairie State. In 2007, they won it outright. Mt. Olive continues to win by pounding the ball down the throats of their opponents with an intimidating ground game and some huge linemen in the Wildcat attack. The single wing T has been integral for Coach Dobrino and Mt. Olive. Mt. Olive graduates a number of the big linemen, their quarterback, and some speed backs, but big Paul Rademacher will be back for the Wildcats. He is entering his senior season and has already ran for over 2300 yards in his varsity career. With some line play and a speed back to keep teams from lining up in the box to stop Rademacher, expect to see Mt. Olive make a sixth straight playoff appearance.
