Now 9-0, the District 6-6A champion Coppell football team looks to continue the streak and end the regular season 10-0.
Coppell (9-0 overall, 6-0 in district) plays Plano (2-7, 0-6) tonight at John Clark Stadium in Plano at 7 p.m.
“We have had less than stellar success so we’re just trying to do a good job getting our seniors out of here and put our best foot forward heading into the offseason,” Plano coach Cody White said.
With the Wildcat roster consisting of a majority of seniors, for many this is their last time on the football field.
“Our players have come to the realization that it’s the last time a bunch of them will ever play so we’re in good spirits but also a little bit sad about all of it coming to an end,” White said.
Since this is the last game of the season, the Cowboys are starting to shift gears towards the playoffs.
“This game will be exciting as it allows us a chance to finish the season off strong,” Coppell quarterback Edward Griffin said. “Hopefully we can go out, perform, and carry the momentum forward to the playoffs.”
The Cowboys plan to not let tactics by the Wildcats catch them by surprise
“We play 6-6A district football,” Griffin said. “We know that every team is talented and our guys know that we can’t take them any lighter than any other team.”
Expectations are running high in Coppell with the Cowboys’ dominance through nine games.
“There obviously is a ton of pressure because playoffs are win-or-go-home,” Griffin said. “At the end of the day we know that we can’t focus on the pressure and only focus on our guys.”
