Wildcats Season Ends with Loss to Raccoons
by Butch Burney
FRISCO — The Frisco Raccoons had to win their final two regular season games just to make the playoffs. Thursday night, they kept on winning.
Frisco used a ground-based offense and a bend-but-don’t-break defense to take a 41-14 victory over the Sulphur Springs Wildcats at the new, domed Ford Center in Frisco in the Class 5A, Division II bi-district game.
Frisco improved to 7-4 and will face the Everman-South Oak Cliff winner in the area round, while Sulphur Springs’ season ended at 6-4.
The Wildcats actually outgained Frisco in total yards, but the Raccoons took a 7-0 lead on their second possession of the game and never trailed.
Down 13-0 at halftime, Sulphur Springs scored on the second play of the second half to cut the deficit to 13-7 — and the Wildcats scored again on their final play of the game. But, in between, Frisco scored 28 straight points to put the game out of reach.
They did it by utilizing a single-wing offense in which fullback Nick Stanton gained 109 yards rushing and wingback Blake May added 108 yards on the ground. Stanton scored three touchdowns and May scored another to pace the Raccoons’ attack.
All told, Frisco had 292 yards rushing and 28 passing for a total of 320 yards. Conversely, the Wildcats got 281 yards passing from quarterback D’Corian Young (154 yards of it going to wide receiver Austin Dodd) and another 61 yards rushing for 342 total yards. But, the Wildcats turned the ball over twice while not forcing a turnover, and they were hit with 60 yards in penalties, some of which were at the most inopportune times.
Sulphur Springs had a tough time on fourth downs, converting just 1-of-6 opportunities, and they had just two “explosive” plays (of more than 20 yards) and those were the two touchdown passes Young threw to Dodd for 74 yards and to Landry Tyson for 47 yards.
The third quarter was especially painful for the Wildcats as they mustered just two first downs and failed to convert on a 4th-and-1 from their own 32 yard line while trailing 20-7. That led to a Stanton 4-yard TD run and a 27-7 Frisco lead with less than 10 minutes left in the contest. Then, Frisco was able to use its pounding ground game to wear down the Wildcat defense.
The Sulphur Springs offense was able to move the ball, especially in the first half when they had drives of 12, 15 and 7 plays, but were not able to score points on them. In the second half, the Wildcat offense was limited to just 7 yards rushing and both turnovers occured in the fourth quarter, including a SSHS fumble that was returned 44 yards for a touchdown by Frisco’s Nick Holland.
NOTES: The Wildcats, who most prognosticators had predicted before the season would not make the playoffs, finished in third place in District 8-5A, Division II. Frisco was the second place team in District 7-5A. … The Raccoons had 22 first downs to 16 for Sulphur Springs. … Wildcat special teams had a couple of shining moments as Damiyon Dugan had a 51-yard kickoff return in the second half and Austin Dodd had a 23-yard punt return. In additino, Jermond Bryant-Amos got off a 53-yard punt.
Jermond Bryant-Amos
AROUND THE DISTRICT: The SS-Frisco game was the only one played on Thursday night. Friday night games include Ennis (5-4) at No. 9 Frisco Reedy (10-0), Lake Dallas (7-3) at Corsciana (8-2), and Lucas Lovejoy (7-2) at Kaufman (7-2).

Mark your calendars for the Tira Community Christmas Party. It is scheduled for Saturday, December 8th , at 6:00 p.m. at the Community Center. Brisket will be provided and residents are asked to bring side dishes and desserts. Also, we will be collecting regular sized canned goods for the Community Food Pantry. Make plans to come enjoy a time of visiting with
your neighbors. We are expecting Santa to drop in to visit with the kids!
At the last meeting, the Tira City Council voted to change the regular quarterly meetings to the first Monday of the quarter – March, June, September, and December. The next meeting will be on Monday, December 3 rd . After the meeting, the group will decorate the center for the
Christmas party. The public is always welcome and encouraged to attend.
No election was required for the Tira City Council this year. Evelyn Horne, Tami Joslin, and Yvonne Weir were unopposed.
Evelyn Horne and her guest attended the Mavericks game against the New York Knicks on November 2nd . Evelyn comments, “Although the Mavericks lost, it was fantastic, especially in their suite.” They also went shopping and visited Victory Park.
Joyce Dodd shared that their grandson, Matthew Dodd, turned 10 on November 12th . He was treated to a small family celebration at Joyce and William’s house on Sunday.
Joyce, also, reported that “the food angels came again…the pantry is stocked.” We always appreciate the generosity of those who contribute to the Food Pantry.
Chip and I spent Thursday through Sunday in Hot Springs, Arkansas. We drove up by way of the Talimena Scenic Drive from Talihena, Oklahoma to Mena, Arkansas. The fall foliage was just a little past peak, but was still beautiful. On Friday, we drove north on Scenic Highway 7, and then went to the Buffalo National River and then came back on a different route and
ended up at Mount Nebo, just in time to watch the sun sink behind another mountain, from Sunset Point. The views of the sunset and the Arkansas River valley were beautiful. Afterward, we enjoyed a delicious seafood buffet at Catfish N in nearby Dardanelle. We spent the day in
Hot Springs on Saturday. We did some shopping and sightseeing downtown and went for a drive up the East and West Mountains. That afternoon, we enjoyed a golf cart tour of Garvan Woodland Gardens, where they were in the process of putting up their light displays for the holiday season. We attended church on Sunday morning, and then shopped a little before
returning home that evening.
I always need and appreciate input from my friends to help keep me informed of news in our community. If you have any news pertaining to Tira residents, past or present, please contact me, Jan Vaughn, at 903-945-2190 or 903-438-6688 or [email protected].
