But the Eagles, ranked No. 3 in the state , didn’t miss a beat with sophomore QB Cobe Wilson, who stepped up and led them to a 45-35 victory that secured the district title Friday at Argyle ISD Stadium. Wilson passed for 218 yards with 3 touchdowns, completing 16 of 22 passes. He had completed four passes this season before suddenly taking over the starting role. He said he was nervous before the game, but after the first play, the nerves faded away, and he trusted his preparation and training. “The opportunities he’s been given, he’s taken advantage of it,” Argyle head coach Todd Rodgers said. “He’s a good player.
