Edgar's defense sparks success by design | WIAA playoff game preview
EDGAR – Edgar coach Jerry Sinz said the makings of Edgar’s defensive philosophy of placing their best athletes on the defensive side of the ball rather than offense, began in the mid-70s. The Wildcats have produced many defensive juggernauts over the course of Sinz’s tenure, with some strong units coming out in the last decade.
