Frisco runs over Heritage for bi-district win
FRISCO – The Frisco football team utilized an old-fashioned, ground-and-pound rushing attack to beat Colleyville Heritage 37-27 in a Class 5A Division II bi-district playoff game at the Ford Center on Friday. Senior Brennen Lacey ran for 109 yards and two touchdowns to lead the way for Frisco (8-3), as the Raccoons amassed 354 yards on the ground. “We like to run the ball and it was a matter of controlling the line of scrimmage,” said Frisco head coach Jeff Harbert. “Establishing the ground game is something we knew we had to do in order to win.” With both teams struggling early on offense, Heritage (6-5) scored the only points in the first quarter on a 30-yard field goal by Andrew Roy. Frisco ripped off 17 unanswered points in the second quarter, with senior J’Siah Watson’s 100-yard interception return for a touchdown giving the Raccoons a 17-3 lead with just under four minutes remaining in the first half. Senior Lowery Asel gave Frisco its first lead at 7-3 with his 66-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter, and his 25-yard field goal increased the lead to 10-3 before Watson’s pick-six. “Winning the turnover battle is always key,” said Harbert.

Texas football powerhouse out of playoffs after court ruling
Just a few days ago, Argyle Liberty Christian (TX) announced that it would be seeking legal action against the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) decision to ban the Warriors from postseason play . On Tuesday, a Denton County Courthouse denied the school's request for a temporary restraining order. Charles Baggarly of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that the decision was announced after several hours of deliberation. The ruling keeps Liberty Christian out of the TAPPS Division I postseason. According to Baggarly, 362nd Judicial District Court Judge Bruce McFarling ruled that TAPPS did not do anything illegal or against public policy. The ruling from McFarling came down to proper due process, not whether the athlete was coached by Griffin or if the athlete was ineligible.
