When the Abbeville Wildcats display their new red and grey football uniforms in 2025, they will also have a new character on the sideline.
When the season begins at the end of August, “Blick” will be sitting on the bench or in the hands of a Wildcat player while the game is going on.
Never before has Blick been on the sideline of an Abbeville football game.
Who is Blick?

The Abbeville Wildcats unveiled their new uniforms in front of fans, students, faculty, and family at Media Day in Wildcats Stadium Tuesday evening.
The new uniforms return to the traditional gray and white AHS color scheme. They may look familiar to college football fans as they mimic the Ohio State Buckeyes uniforms. The away jerseys are charcoal gray and red while the home jerseys are white and red.

When did you first start playing organized sports?

 I started playing football in eighth grade.  I added basketball in my freshman year.  I didn’t play when I was younger.  I was a homebody kid.
