In their 31st meeting on the gridiron, Plano East entered the field with a one-game edge in the series over Plano.  When the teams left the field Friday night the rivalry record was tied, 15-15-1, evened by the Wildcats 42-12 win.

The Wildcats won this game with a running play book (391yds net rushing, 5 TDs vs. 92yds net passing, 1 TD) and a high-pressure defense.

The Panthers kicked off, and half way through the 1st quarter the Wildcats scored on a quarterback keeper by #21 Richard Lagow, capped with a PAT by #96 Jourdan Escobar.  The Wildcats defense stepped up the pressure two minutes later when #26 Brian Hanks intercepted and put the ball back into the hands of the Wildcats offense.  The quarter ended with Plano up 7-0.

A minute and a half into the 2nd quarter Plano’s offense scored its only passing TD when Lagow connected with #22 Corey Robertson in the end zone.  With Escobar’s PAT Plano was up 14-0.  East’s offense continued to struggle against the Plano defense, and when the tables turned Plano’s offense struck again on the ground.  With 3:04 left in the half #5 Braylan Campbell rushed into the end zone and with the PAT Plano was now up 21-0, the score the teams would reflect upon during halftime.

The Panthers received the second half kick off, but on their first offensive play #27 Steven Cypert intercepted.  Within two minutes of regulation play the Wildcats scored  with another Lagow quarterback keeper and Escobar PAT.  Barely into the 3rd quarter the Wildcats had 28 unanswered points on the board.  On their heels, the Panthers regrouped and put together their first successful offensive drive, and at the 6:58 mark of the quarter they put the ball into the end zone for the first time.  But the Wildcats defense denied the Panthers 2-point conversion attempt, and the Panthers had to settle for only 6 points on the scoreboard.   With the ball back in Wildcats hands, it took only a minute for Braylan Campbell to carry the ball across the goal line again.  The 3rd quarter ended with Plano up 35-6.

The 4th quarter began with the Wildcats driving on offense and it took only 5 seconds for #34 Andre Morman to score on the ground.  Escobar’s kick was true yet again, and

with 11:55 left in the game the Wildcats lead 42-6.  The Panthers offense mustered one more TD, this one an attack in the air, but yet again the Wildcats defense squelched the 2-point conversion attempt.  With 8:07 left in the game the final score was cast at 42-12.  The game ended with #28 Christian Hutzler taking a knee, putting the 31st Plano-Plano East contest in the record book.

2012 Varsity Wildcats First District Win: 38-21 Over McKinney (Updated)

By on October 13, 2012 in '12 Fall Season, Varsity

Under Texas UIL rules for 5A football, the top-four ranked teams in each district, based on district play, advance to post-season.  Plano’s district, District 10, is comprised of only six teams.  The good news in this is that most teams in the district will advance to playoffs.

The bad news is that the margin of error is thin.

The varsity Wildcats got off to a good start in district play Friday October 12 by taking command of the game against the McKinney Lions by scoring first and maintaining the lead throughout.

The two teams tested each other for most of the 1st quarter until #34 Andre Morman rushed into the end zone for a Plano TD, followed by a #96 Jourdan Escobar PAT. With just 3 minutes left in the quarter Plano was on the scoreboard 7-0.  The Wildcats then pulled a little something special out of their playbook in the form of a surprise ultra- short kickoff.  Playing on special teams, #3 Cody Farhat shot into the Lion’s front line and recovered the ball for the Wildcats.

If you looked just at the play clock, the Wildcats offense only had four seconds of rest.  And about a minute and a half later, an Escobar field goal put the Wildcats up 10-0, a score that held through the end of the quarter.

Wildcats defenders #26 Brian Hanks & #14 David Griffith knock the spit out of the McKinney QB in the 3rd quarter.

The Lions were down but definitely not out, and made that apparent just about a minute into the 2nd quarter when they scored a TD on a passing play.  The PAT was good and the Lions were on the board, 10-7.  The Wildcats responded six minutes later when #21 Richard Lagow scored a TD on a quarterback keeper capped by another PAT.  The Lions replied with a TD and PAT of their own and with 1:22 left in the half and the Wildcats’ lead was cut back again, to 17-14.  Looking to regain the cushion in the lead, the Wildcats offense went to the air and with just 3 seconds left in the half Lagow connected with a pass to #16 Mitchell Hansen for a TD.  Plano went into the locker room at the half with a ten point cushion, 24-14.

Plano kicked off to start the second half and McKinney couldn’t capitalize on the possession, but about halfway through the 3rd quarter Plano capitalized on theirs when Lagow muscled his way through the McKinney goal line defense yet again for another TD.  With the PAT Plano was up 31-14.  McKinney’s offense pushed hard, and in two and half minutes they scored on a rushing TD. With the PAT they closed the Wildcats’ lead to 10 points again, 31-21.

The 4th quarter opened with Plano on offense, but in seconds Plano fumbled.  Then McKinney fumbled back to Plano on the very next play, and two minutes later #5 Braylan Campbell carried the ball across the goal line for the Wildcats and with the PAT the Wildcats were up 38-21.  With 6:05 remaining in the game McKinney tried to put 3 on the board with a field goal, but the kick was no good, no doubt influenced by #14 David Griffith’s leap across the kicker’s line of sight (and possible deflection).   Plano turned to running plays to burn time off the clock, and after punting to McKinney the Plano defense maintained pressure and preserved the 17 point lead.

Final score, Plano 38, McKinney 21.  Plano joined Allen and McKinney Boyd as the District 10-5A winners this week.


Unofficial Offensive Stats: Passing - #21 Lagow 12 of 16 for 156yds and zero INT and 1 TD;  Receving - #22 Corey Robertson 4 catches for 61yds, #5 Campbell 3 for 40yds, #2 Corbin Whitehair 2 for 31yds, #12 Devon Richardson 1 for 11yds, #34 Morman 1 for 8yds, #16 Hansen 1 for 5yds and 1 TD; Rushing - #5 Campbell 21 carries for 109yds and 1 TD, #34 Morman 10 for 55yds and 1 TD, #22 Robertson 5 for 37yds, #21 Lagow 4 for 15yds and 2 TDs, #12 Richardson 1 for 3yds, Team Loss -31yds (bad snap); Kicking/Punting - #96 Escobar 5 for 5 on PATs, 1 37yd FG, and #95 John Cummings 2 punts for a 41yd average.

2012 Game – Plano 21, Marcus 35 – Mistakes Were Made

By on October 5, 2012 in '12 Fall Season, Varsity

In his book How We Decide author Johah Lehrer explains how our brains make decisions.  In the first chapter he uses the game of football (and quarterback Tom Brady) as an example to make a few key points about decision making.  One of them is that for some activities, like football, once the ball is snapped the best decisions are made not by thoughtful calculation, but by “gut feeling.”  Another point is that our brains truly do learn from our mistakes if we don’t intentionally suppress the memory of those mistakes.

Perhaps Thursday night’s varsity game in Marauders Stadium may be an example of the Wildcats thinking too hard about what should come naturally.  And reflecting back on it, loss aside, the game presents a good opportunity to learn.

Plano won the toss and deferred, putting the ball into Marauder hands straight-away.  And straight-away the Marauders made good on their offensive opportunities with a pass play into the end zone.  Two and a half minutes into the game Marcus was up 7-0.  That score held through the remainder of the 1st quarter.

The 2nd quarter opened with Plano on offense, stalled outside the red zone.  A Plano field goal attempt was no good at the 11:14 mark, but the Wildcats seized an opporunity a minute later when #81 Bert McJunkin intercepted and ran the ball in for a TD.  The PAT by #96 Jourdan Escobar was good, and the score was tied 7-all.  Marcus jumped ahead with a rushing TD and PAT with 3:43 left in the half, and twenty seconds later intercepted a Plano pass and turned that into another 7 points in a drive lasting a minute and a half.  With only 8 seconds remaining in the half the Wildcats tried to close the gap with a field goal but the attempt failed.  The score at the half was Marcus 21, Plano 7.

The 3rd quarter was all in the Marauders favor.  Plano received the second half kickoff, but an early Wildcats fumble was recovered by the Marauders and promptly turned into another 7 points.  Plano’s offense struggled, and at the 3:46 mark the team lost momentum again with a fumble to Marcus.  The quarter ended with the Wildcats in a 28-7 hole, but driving on offense.

Another Wildcats defender put points on the board with 8:28 on the clock when #14 David Griffith scooped a Marauder punt out of the air and ran it into the end zone for a TD.  The PAT was good and Plano narrowed the gap to 28-14.  A minute and half later Wildcats defender #27 Steven Cypert created an opportunity for the offense by intercepting, but a minute later an overthrown Plano bomb was picked by one of the double-teaming Marcus defensive backs.  Marcus went on to score another rushing TD and PAT and the gap increased, 35-14 with 4:30 left on the clock.  The Wildcats offense put their noses to the grindstone, and three minutes later #21 Richard Lagow connected in the air with #16 Mitchell Hansen for a TD.  Gier’s PAT was good, and at 1:48 Plano closed the gap to 35-21.  Not giving up, Plano’s special teams kickoff squad came through with a successfull on-side kick recovery and the Plano offense was back on the field.  The Wildcats ground down to the red zone but weren’t able to make the end zone again.  The Marauders secured their first win of the 2012 season, and the Wildcats fell to 3-2 in non-district play.

Unofficial Offensive Stats: Passing – #21 Lagow 15 of 23 for 298yds with 1 TD and 2 INTs, #16 Hansen 0 for 1, #5 Braylan Campbell 0 for 1;  Receiving – #16 Hansen 8 catches for 190yds and 1 TD, #12 Devon Richardson 2 for 42yds, #22 Corey Richardson 3 for 34yds, #5 Campbell 2 for 32yds; Rushing (net) – #34 Andre Morman 11 caries for 25yds, #5 Campbell 16 for 24yds, #22 Robertson 4 for 9yds, #21 Lagow 8 for 3yds; Kicking/Punts – #96 Escobar 3 PATs, 0-2 FG; #95 John Cummings 2 punts avergaging 44yds.

Official Denfensive Stats will be published when received by the coaching staff.  Defensive Special Mentions - 1 INT each by #81 McJunkin (and TD) and #27 Cypert; punt block (and TD) by #14 Griffith; Kick-off special teams squad for recovered on-side kick.

Varsity Wildcats First 2012 Loss To Hebron: 21-24

By on September 29, 2012 in '12 Fall Season, Varsity

The Plano Wildcats varsity team suffered the first loss of the 2012 season in a Friday night loss to the Hebron Hawks at Plano’s John Clark Stadium.

Hebron struck first with a TD and PAT in the 1st quarter, and that 7-0 score held for the quarter.

Plano tied the score early in the 2nd quarter, but couldn’t respond when Hebron put up another TD and PAT and then a field goal with 1 second left in the half.  Plano went to the locker room at the half down 17-7.

The 3rd quarter saw the last of scoring by either team.  Hebron came out of the locker room and hung another 7 on Plano.  The Wildcats responded with a TD, but missed the PAT, and then scored another TD with a good two-point conversion.  With 2:25 left on the clock in the 3rd quarter the Wildcats had closed the gap to 21-24.  From that point on, neither team was able to put points on the board.  In the last minutes of the 4th quarter the Wildcats made a valiant passing drive for the end zone, but a win was not in the cards for the Wildcats this week.

Unofficial Offensive Stats:  Passing – #21 Richard Lagow, 6 of 14 for 206yds, 2 INTs, and 1 TD; #5 Braylan Campbell 1 for 1 and 1 TD; Receiving- #16 Mitchell Hansen 2 catches for 106yds and 1 TD, #9 Anthony Antwine 3 for 64yds and 1 TD, #89 Dalton Reeves 1 for 46yds, #22 Corey Robertson 1 for 4yds; Rushing – #34 Andre Morman 15 carries for 96yds and 1 TD, #5 Cambell 8 for 56yds, #22 Robertson 5 for 41yds, #33 Brandon Stephens 2 for 10, #38 Branon Wahle 1 for 5yds, #21 Lagow 1 for -9yds; Kicking/Punts – #96 Jourdan Escobar 1 PAT and 2 punts averaging 33yds, #95 John Cummings 1 punt for 10yds.

Defensive stats will be published after receipt from the coaching staff.  Special mention – INT by #3 Cody Farhat at 5:29 in the 2nd quarter that prevented a Hebron TD.

Odds & Ends: Plano passed for 217 yds and rushed for 199; #5 Campbell ran in the successful two-point conversion in the 2nd quarter; Plano logged 6 penalties for 55 yds.
