Keep up with the action all season long: 2014 Frisco High School Football Schedules and Results
Any coach will tell you that if you just make it to the playoffs, anything can happen. When it comes to District 9-5A, making the playoffs might just mean that the toughest football is behind you. After Week 9’s crazy set of upsets, there is now a four-way tie for first place, with the playoffs a mere two weeks away.
W Frisco (5-3, 4-2) @ Frisco Lone Star (6-3, 4-3)—35-17
The streaking Lone Star Rangers knew that a win against Frisco High would give them at least a share of the top spot in district. However, the Raccoons had different plans.
The route was on early as the ‘Coons led 28-3 at halftime, and despite a late surge by the Rangers, the win was really never a doubt for Frisco High. Coming into the contest, all eyes were on Lone Star’s Jason Shelley, the do-it-all QB that is crucial to his team’s success. However, the Raccoons have their very own star athlete in Paul Terry, who rushed for an astounding 289 yards and a score.
Frisco High’s defense keyed in on the run, limiting Shelley to just 10 yards rushing on 20 carries. Shelley was still able to connect on 25 passes for 327 yards, but he was also intercepted once and failed to find the end zone. Lone Star’s WRs Coby Shelton (120 yds) and Michael Johnson (98 yds) hauled in a combined 15 passes.
W Frisco Heritage (6-2, 4-2) @ Frisco Wakeland (6-2, 4-2)—32-28
Wakeland High had a chance to carve their own spot atop District 9-5A, but the feisty Coyotes used a late offensive push to secure the win and create a jumbled mess for the district’s top spot.
After the first quarter, it appeared as though the route was on for the Wakeland Wolverines. Up 14-0 heading into the second quarter, Jay Orji (201 yds, 3 TDs) and Justice Williams (30 yds rec., TD)—two keys to the Wolverines’ success—had already beaten the Coyotes defense.
Heading into the fourth quarter, Wakeland still led, 21-18, but they knew advantage was on shaky ground. In the final quarter, it was the Coyotes’ time to shine, as WRs AJ Dawson (78 yds, TD) and Keaton White (51 yds, TD) proved the difference. QB Malik Walker combined for 259 yards of total offense with 4 TDs.
W Frisco Liberty (4-4, 3-3) VS. Frisco Centennial (4-4, 4-2)—21-7
In what was the biggest upset of the week, if not the season, the Liberty RedHawks used a simple formula to pull off the win—they stopped the Titans’ biggest weapon.
RB Anthony Pegues (73 yds, TD) was held to less than 106 yards for the first time in six weeks, and just the third time this season. This is no easy feat, especially of late, as Pegues has averaged a robust 188.1 yds per game over his previous five contests.
Although a strong defensive output was extremely important in Liberty’s win, the RedHawks could not have won had it not been for a huge night from their offense. RBs Dmitri Jones (153 yds) and Darrell Reese (80 yds, 2 TDs) were able to exploit the Titans’ normally tough run defense. QB Udgam Goyal ran wild too, with 120 yds rushing and a score, with 81 yards passing to boot.
L Frisco Legacy Christian (3-5, 0-5) VS. Bullard Brook Hill (5-2, 4-1)—35-45
Legacy’s Chase Eisenmann’s big night—238 yards, TD—wasn’t enough to top Bullard Brook Hill and their top notch passing attack.
Bullard’s QB Grant Hanks (264 yds, 4 TDs) found WR Seth Brasher (109 yds, 4 TDs) anytime he needed him as the Guard outlasted a fourth quarter scoring surge by the Eagles.
