Friday night didn’t go as we had hoped.

Our Cougars saw some growing pains with several new guys playing in new positions.  We got better as the game went on, but we couldn't start slow and expect to be successful. We made a lot of early mistakes, but we saw a lot of growth as the game went on.  It was a great non-district game for us to get a lot of good work. Maypearl was a solid team that was much improved. 

First year starting QB Kyu Wilson was 15 of 21 with a TD pass.  We were happy with the way he managed the game and made decisions. Brycen Foster and Love Willis led the defense in tackles.  Both played great games from their OLB positions. O’Rylen Crockett saw his first varsity action and scored his first career varsity TD on a long pass in the 4th quarter from Kyu Wilson. 

Thank you to all the staff and teachers that welcomed us onto the field.  We enjoyed seeing you in the stands.  

The Cougars take on Mineral Wells this Friday night in Mineral Wells with a 7:30 kickoff. 

Your JV Cougar Football team traveled an hour and a half to Maypearl last night.  Sadly, after a long, tough (108 degrees) fight through the game, the Cougars came up short, losing 20-14.  We were up 14-12 until the last 3 minutes of the game. 

We were led by Joshua Oliver and Ashton Berry who both made two long runs.  Alex Richmond was the work horse of the night, playing both sides and commanding the Cougars offense and getting us our two-point conversion. Defensively, we were led by Alvin Wilson, Josh Raga, Ethan Davis and Jeremiah Armstead Leonard who had multiple sacks and tackles for a loss.  Braden Burns forced a fumble in the third quarter that was picked up by Tim Clark. 

Tonight, the Varsity plays at 7:30 pm at Farrington.
