The Widgets faced tough competition week in and out....and posted a decent 3-5 record.
After the Juniors suffered a 14-0 loss in week 1 to the Lansing Lions..the Cats regrouped and took the Metro league by storm.

The Widgets looking to win back 2 back titles goes on to do just that...winning the Wildcat Organization their 5th Super Bowl Championships...and the Widgets 2nd title.

The Frankfort Square PeeWee Wildcats are 1999 Super Bowl Champs!! The Wildcats completed their undefeated season by defeating the Oak Lawn Outlaws 13-12. Congratulations to the Wildcats in only their second season as a youth football and cheer organization. They proved they can play with some of the best.
The Wildcats opened the game with an impressive drive against the toughest defense they'd seen all season. Quarterback Brendan Mulheran drove the team to the 5 yard line with a huge 1st down on a play action option around the right end for a 15 yard gain. With a 1st down and goal to go, behind the great blocking of Dan Pirkle and Kyle Houlahan, Tom Lilja powered his way in for the TD. The Wildcat defense had an early wake-up call when the Outlaws broke a 60 yard run for an answering touchdown on a no-nonsense call right up the middle by all purpose back D. Hettiger. The defense, until this time unscored upon all season, knew they were in for a battle. Anchored by Brendan Mulheran (10 tackles) and Dan Pirkle (7 tackles) the defense provided the fans with a great defensive show to keep the powerful Outlaw offense out of the endzone again before the end of the first half. Half-time score: Wildcats 6, Outlaws 6.
The Outlaws continued on their attack in the 3rd quarter with an impressive time-consuming drive to the Wildcat 4 yard line. The Outlaws then appeared to be stopped, but heads-up running and a great effort by M. Wolski breaking to the outside put the Outlaws up by 6 with only 9:00 left in the game.
The Wildcats calmly took over on their own 40 yard line. Solid blocking by the offensive line of Ryan Walenga, Zack Smorch, Dan Giordano, Joe Turek, Kyle Harke, Dan Pirkle, and Kyle Houlahan allowed the Cats to march inside the Outlaws 5 when Matt Pirkle drove over for the tying TD. The consistent running of Dan Cebula, Matt Kuvakos, Tom Lilja, and Matt Pirkle had the Outlaws off balance. The game clock was down to almost 2:00 and the Cats needed the extra point to go ahead. The offense called on their QB one more time as Brendan Mulheran, with lead blocking by Tom Lilja, swept right untouched for the go-ahead point.
With the score Wildcats 13, Outlaws 12, the Outlaws mounted their last drive. Great runs by Wolski and Hettiger brought the Outlaws to the 25 yard line of the Wildcats. The Cats defense rose to the occasion. Great plays by Nate Borowski, Dan Giordano, Kyle Smith and Andrew Kasik forced the Outlaws to 4th and 10 with 6 seconds left. The last play was as intense as the first play of the game. The Outlaws rolled left looking for a receiver but was forced to scramble and was taken down behind the line by Dan Giordano of the Wildcats. Congratulations to the PeeWee Wildcats on their perfect undefeated Championship season.

2001 Widget Super Bowl Champs
Sunday, November 18th, 2001
Wildcat Widgets 14
Lansing Lions 0
The WIDGETS won their first title by defeating Lansing Lions 14-0. It was a battle of the undefeated teams and the Wildcats came out to play. Shutting down the Lions offense the Cats took position on the Lions 40. On the first play Dan Cebula explodes off tackle and races 60 yards for a TD! Wildcats quickly go up 6-0. The defense proved to be to strong for the Lions running game as they were kept in check the entire afternoon. During the 2nd quarter the Cats were knocking on the door again. On 4th down needing 1 yard for a first, Brendan Mulerhan on a QB sneak rumbled and tumbled his way 20 yards breaking numerous tackles for the Cats 2nd TD of the afternoon. Kyle Houlahan added the point after kick to make the score 14-0. The Widgets finished the season with a perfect 10-0 record. Congratulations to all of the Wildcats boys and girls for another successful year!
2002 Widget Super Bowl Champs
2002 WIDGET SUPER BOWL CHAMPS!Wildcats 28 vs. Mt. Greenwood 16
Defending their title the Wildcats defeated the Colts 28 - 16 to win thier 2nd championship in back to back seasons. The Colts deferred the opening kick-off selecting to give the Wildcats the ball. This sparked the fire that the offense was looking for and they made them pay the price. Dan Cebula took the first carry 30 yards and the Cats offense never looked back. The offensive line led the way to the endzone driving the Colts back for 6pts. The Cats defense was unable to stop a great drive from the Colts and found themselves down 8-6. After a booming kick by the Colts which pinned the Cats back on their 20 yard line the Cats needed a big play. On the Cats first play, Dan Cebula raced 80 yards for a Cats TD. Creating huge holes and enable Cebula to score untouched were Joe Turek, Kyle Pena, Matt Lysik, Matt Pirkle, Andrew Kasik and Frank Strobel. Pena converted the point after making the score 14-8. The Cats would score again in the 2nd half making the score 20-8. The Colts never quit however, fighting to the end. They battled their way to the endzone making some great plays to close the gap 20-16. The Coaches again asked the offensive line to lead them to the endzone. Shane Sweeney, Joe Michals, Chris Bruno, Jacob Raczek, Kevin Chathas, Joe Turek, Frank Strobel, and Andrew Kasik answered the call, as they opened up huge holes allowing the Cats to move the ball and take time off the clock. With the Colts defense on their heels getting pancaked and pushed back, Cebula, Pirkle, Lysik and Pena moved the chains 60 yards. With the ball on the 10 yard line, Pena followed Michals, Sweeney, and Turek up the middle for the Cats final TD. The Cats would recovery the onside kick, and go on to defeat the Colts 28-16. Congratulations to the Widgets on a great season. We are all very proud of your hard work and dedication. Also we would like to congratulate the Cats offensive line for enabling Dan Cebula to rush for over 200 yards against a great Colt Defense, and to have over 1000 yards rushing in a season. Without the blocking from Joe Turek, Shane Sweeney, Andrew Kasek, Frank Strobel, Joe Michals, Chris Bruno, Kevin Chathas, Jacob Raczek, Kyle Pena, Matt Lysik and Matt Pirkle none of that would have been achieved.

This time Hannigan steps up to the line, and races his way around end for the go ahead TD. With minutes remaining in the game, the Cats defense needed to find a way to stop the powerful Knights Offense. Big Cat Markasovic led the defensive attack coming up with 2 BIG stops

Super Bowl Results
The Wildcats came up short in the win column on Saturday, however, the heart and determination by both the PeeWees and Juniors was amazing. The PeeWee's got off to a late start, but finished strong. T. Markasovic forced a fumble, while M. Murray was there to catch the ball...and rumble & stumble his way across midfield with 40 seconds left. That fumbled stopped a late surge by Lansing and giving Frankfort one last attempt. The boys left it all on the field, and finished the season with a very impressive 10-1 record. The Juniors battled Hessville, and like the PeeWee's fell short. The boys played with heart, class and determination. Nobody expected this group to make it the Super Bowl, but these boys continue to amaze us all. From the opening kick-off...to the final whistle, these boys played their hearts out. I for one...couldn't be prouder to be a Wildcat after the display of sportmanship and class that both Wildcat teams displayed. Congratulations to all on another outstanding season...and good luck to the Juniors in Florida!

Frankfort Square Super Pee Wees Capture 4th Straight Fall Brawl Championship
November 11, 2006 - The Frankfort Square Junior Pee Wees defeated the Lansing Lions 23-6 to capture their 4th straight Fall Brawl Championship. The day started with the Frankfort Square Wildcats facing a tough Hegewisch Bulldog team. The Wildcats triumphed 34-6 in less than ideal field conditions. The Cats line play on both sides of the ball proved too much as the Wildcats jumped out to a 22-0 halftime lead. Mike Markasovic, Mike Buckley, Liam McGuire, Jake McLaughlin, Ethan Klosak, Brad White, Dominic Novelli, Garrett Palmer, and Giovanni Garcia opened up huge holes for running backs Ben Troike, Patrick Troike, Mark Myers, and Drew Slager.
The second half featured Jack Hinkleman, Luke Bice, Dominic Camerino, Drew Chesla, Matt Cooke, Aric Faller, Kyle Genis, Joey Guch, Tyler Patton, Dillon Peterson, Tyler Lindgren, Mike Lowy, and Nicholas Pervin and as their aggressive defense and ball control offense helped preserve the win for the Cats.
In the Championship Game, the Wildcats continued with their aggressive play. A swarming Wildcat defense prevented the Lions from moving the ball much of the game. As the field conditions worsened, the Wildcats went into halftime with a 15-0 lead on touchdown runs by Ben Troike and Mark Myers, and a 2 point conversion by Drew Slager. A special mention goes out to Tommy Budney who missed the first game due to illness. Tommy sat on the sideline for the Championship game and was the inspirational leader for the Wildcats.
Lansing received the second half kick and turned the ball over on their first play. The Cats quickly capitalized as they marched 30 yards for another score, increasing their lead to 23-0. With less than a minute to go, Lansing put 6 points on the board to make the final score 23-6.
The Junior Pee Wees finish the year with an undefeated record of 12-0.
The Wildcats would like to recognize the outstanding job that our Junior PeeWee Coaching staff has done this year. To Head Coach Jim Herms Hermle, Bob Roberts, Craig Erickson, Dan Wortel, Tim Meade and Kyle Klaver...the time and dedication that you all give to this group of young men is outstanding. This marks the retirement of Bob Roberts and the Wildcat Organization would like to congratulate Bob for a job well done!
