Finding a rhythm
Bearkats focused on getting offense back to championship form
By Cody Stark

Sequels seldom live up to the originals, but Sam Houston State’s Todd Whitten hopes that’s not the case in his second season as the Bearkats’ head coach.
Coming off a national semifinal appearance in 2004, the Kats limped to a 3-7 record last season and finished fifth in the Southland Conference at 2-4. Not exactly the start Whitten and his staff was hoping for when they left Tarleton State for Huntsville.
But the Bearkats began to get things together with a solid spring, building a camaraderie among the players and coaches. There is a new attitude and a feeling of optimism on the hill this fall.
And the Kats have nowhere to go but up in 2006.
