Paris with the rematch we all wanted to see. Sports brought to you by RENO TIRE AND SERVICE CENTER.

On Friday night, the Paris Wildcats advanced past the Area Round of the playoffs with a 38-28 victory over Midlothian Heritage, as heard on 101.9 KBUS. The Jaguars scored on the Last play of the first half to take a 28-21 lead into the half. Paris’ defense stepped up in the second half, though, as they shut out Heritage.
