In a rare mid-week performance on August 31 the Plano Wildcats JV football team didn’t disappoint fans as they dominated the Irving MacArthur Cardinals JV team in John Clark Stadium.
With Jr. QB #22 Corey Robertson leading the offense the Wildcats struck hard early, putting up 7 only 2:48 into the game with a receiving touchdown by Jr. WR #2 Corbin Whitehair and PAT by Jr. K #95 John Cummings.
Plano scored another 7 points with just 6 seconds left in the 1st quarter on another Robinson-to-Whitehair pass, Cummings PAT.
Wildcat scoring for the game capped with 5:19 remaining in the 2nd quarter when So. WR #27 Drew Grant pulled down a pass and took it to the end zone. The Cummings PAT was good, putting the Wildcats up 21-0 at the half. The Wildcats did not score in the second half.
On the other side of the ball the Wildcat JV defense carried over its aggressive play from last week’s game, holding the Cardinals scoreless until only 1:45 remained on the clock. We counted 6 sacks (unofficial), an interception by Jr. DB #12 Steven Cypert in the second half, and a blocked FG attempt, also by Cypert. We credit So. #7 Jordan Phillips with a hard tackle that forced a turnover late in the game.
