Abbeville ends season against West St. Mary

The Abbeville Wildcats close out their season tonight, looking for their first win in two years, when they face West St. Mary.
Abbeville (0-9, 0-4), has fallen short in a few games this season, getting their hopes crushed in the final moments of those contest. Last week, the Wildcats fell to Kaplan 22-14 in the battle for the Russo Trophy.

Towery talked about the key for this team to pick up their first victory in his tenure as a coach.

This has been a tough season for both teams, as they look to end their seasons’ on a high note.
The Wildcats want to avenge a 24-0 home loss suffered to West St.Mary in Week 10 last season.
