After a several year break, the Jesuit Rangers are back in Plano’s UIL district, and the re-boot kicked off on Oct. 25 with the Wildcats JV football team traveling south on the Tollway to play on Jesuit’s campus field – Ranger Stadium.  It was a close game throughout, and featured more passing by the Wildcats JV than I think I’ve seen in quite a while.  In the end, the JV Rangers captured the win 24-21.

This year’s Wildcats vs. Panthers varsity football game started in the rain, and the rain didn’t end until the close of the half-time break.   Those Wildcats fans who stayed home (and a lot of fans for both teams were no-shows) missed the arguably strongest showing of their team this season.  Holding the Panthers scoreless through the first three quarters, and themselves scoring in all four, the Wildcats earned bragging rights by winning 41-19.

Another Friday night football game with rain!  No lightning delays, thankfully, but starting the game with soaked players, wet footballs and a fraction of the usual number of fans in the stands is not a great experience for any team.  But the game started on time, without intervening delays, and the bands and drill teams gave full (AND WONDERFUL) performances. On the field, there was no scoring in the first quarter, and by the half only the Lions had put points on the board, leading 7-0 into the locker room.  The mist turned to a hazy fog in the second half, and the teams wereRead More →

Yes, it was disappointing that the 2018 JV football game between McKinney and Plano was hosted by McKinney at it’s auxiliary field near the high school, and not one of McKinney’s (now two) stadiums, but visitors can’t be choosers.  All the scoring in this game happened in the second quarter, with mirroring TD’s and 2-point conversions that left the game in a 8-8 tie at the closing buzzer.

Originally scheduled to be played on Sept. 20, the Wildcats v. Eagles JV football game was rescheduled to Oct. 4 to allow the varsity teams to play on the 20th to avoid rain delays (I guess that kinda worked).  Playing on the newly-carpeted Clark West Field, the JV Wildcats showed solid play, but a turnover and Allen’s relentless passing game gave the Eagles the win.

Rice Middle School was the home team at Plano’s John Clark Stadium for its 8th grade football “B” and “A” team games against Armstrong Middle School on Sept. 18, 2018.   Armstrong took the win for the “B” team game, and Rice closed out the night with a decisive “A” team win. Perhaps it was the rousing songs played by the Rice Ravens Band that fueled the Rice “A” team win?  It certainly didn’t hurt.

For the third week in a row the Plano Wildcats varsity football team had to kill time during lightning delays at the scheduled start time for their game.  This week, at Allen High School’s Eagles Stadium, the game started with the Eagles kicking to the Wildcats, but before the Wildcats could set for their first offensive play the game was suspended for lightning.  Two hours later, after some sometimes-violent rain showers, play resumed.  Though the teams were neck-and-neck through most of the first half, Allen pulled away just before halftime and never looked back, winning 49-14.
