Frisco rallies past Richland for 3rd straight win
FRISCO – The Frisco football team beat Prosper Richland 28-24 in a tightly contested District 4-5A Division II contest Thursday night at Toyota Stadium. Frisco’s J’Siah Watson intercepted a pass on the game’s opening drive and returned it 75 yards for a touchdown to give the Raccoons’ an early 7-0 lead. It was one of four first-quarter turnovers by the visiting Raiders. “Winning the turnover battle against a good team like Richland was going to be a key factor,” said Frisco head coach Jeff Harbert. Following Major Reed’s 40-yard kickoff return, Richland answered with a 25-yard field goal by Gavin Villarreal to make the score 7-3 with just over eight minutes to go in the first quarter. The Raiders (4-4, 2-4) scored two unanswered touchdowns in the second quarter, both on short runs by Nicoy Stewart, to take a 17-7 advantage lead. “From here on out, every game is important because most of us are still in the playoff race,” said Richland head coach Kenneth Gilchrist. Gilchrist, now in his second year at Richland, agreed with Harbert on turning the ball over. “Eliminating fumbles and interceptions is always going to be huge,” he said. “Those early turnovers didn’t help our

Star Local Media’s Athlete of the Week: Plano East's Josh Gordon
The Plano East football team shook off a 10-0 deficit by scoring 24 straight points against Plano on Friday on the way to a 31-17 victory. Senior Josh Gordon played through an illness to lead his team to a key rivalry win over the Wildcats, sparking East's rally with a 52-yard flea flicker touchdown in the second quarter and going on to finish the night having completed 14-of-19 passes for 194 yards and a touchdown, plus 37 rushing yards and another score. SLM: How would you describe how you were feeling physically before and throughout Friday's game, and how did you go about managing the task of having to play through an illness? JG: Before Friday's game, I had a headache as well as getting chills often, and right before the game started, I got nauseous and even threw up on the sideline not knowing if I was going to be able to play at a high level or to the level my coaches and teammates needed me to play at. But during the game, as the adrenaline kicked in, I felt a lot better – still not completely normal, but good enough to know that I would be fine

Plano East’s halftime lead doesn’t hold in loss to Berkner
DALLAS – Christian Hampton accounted for 252 yards of total offense and three touchdowns to lead Richardson Berkner to a 28-17 come-from-behind victory over District 7-6A foe Plano East at Wildcat-Ram Stadium on Friday. The senior quarterback’s 35-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Watson put the Rams up for good at 21-17 with 6:16 left in the game. After a scoreless first quarter, East (5-3, 3-2) took a 7-0 lead on senior Josh Gordon’s four-yard quarterback keeper with 9:12 left in the second quarter. “Josh got injured last year and it put us in a bind,” said Panthers head coach Tony Benedetto. “He’s very athletic and having him back enables us to open up some things.” The Rams answered immediately with a lengthy drive and evened the score 7-7 after Hampton’s first touchdown toss to Watson, this one from 18 yards out with 6:42 remaining in the first half. “Containing Hampton and their play-making receivers was something we talked about,” said Benedetto. “Coach Bryant coaches a good brand of football and they can play with anyone in the district.” Berkner’s ensuing onside kick was recovered by the Panthers, and they capitalized on the favorable field position when sophomore Treyce Seldon capped
