The Wildcats kept up with the Panthers and ended up 37-35 after the first half; however, they couldn’t overpower the strong defense from the Panthers.

My second year at ACU was full of opportunities that grew me as an individual and a journalist.

In my first year as editor in chief of @acuoptimist, we published six print issues, filmed a 3-hour live election show, and revamped our newscast, all while producing news weekly.
