Season Opener Heartbreak
The Wilson football team opened the 2026‑27 season with a nail‑biting 41‑40 loss to Mayfair, a game that swung back and forth until the final whistle.
Kyle Harris emerged as a focal point, catching four touchdowns that included two kickoff returns, while new starting quarterback Logan Trafas executed a flawless offensive series, moving the ball without a single misstep.
A Test Against a Ranked Opponent
Next up, Wilson travels to face JSerra Catholic, a program currently ranked No. 31 in the state and coming off a 3‑7 campaign last year. The Eagles boast a defense that forced three turnovers, highlighted by interceptions from seniors Dylan Brown and Braylin Spencer, and an offense led by quarterback Jack Hilgenberg and receiver Sam Fredericksen, who combined for a decisive aerial score.
The matchup promises a stark contrast in styles, as Wilson’s high‑powered special teams and explosive receiving corps meet a disciplined JSerra squad that finished the previous season winless in league play.
