The defense for Western Wayne stepped it up in a big way on Friday night. The Wildcats got key fourth down stops to pitch a shutout and Josh Vinton added two touchdowns as Western Wayne defeated Crestwood 21-0 in Mountain Top. “Our defense is legitimate. They are playing well. I don’t what it is with our boys but we play well on fourth down and our defense helped us tonight.” Wildcats head coach Shane Grodack said.
