Friday Night Lights: RHS vs Richardson Pearce

Friday night was the big rivalry game against Pearce. Unfortunately, things didn't go our way and we lost 28-12. The defense played incredibly hard and kept us in the game. The game was still close early in the 4th quarter with a score of 14-12, but then the defense just got tired. The offense has a lot to work on this week as we continue district play. Hopefully, we can get things turned around this next week and get a "W" on Friday for Homecoming.

Season Record: 1-3 (0-1 in district)

Next week: RHS vs Dallas Sunset

Friday Night Lights: RHS vs Allen

Last Friday, the Richardson Eagles played the Allen Eagles. Playing one of the top teams in the state is always a little scary especially since their players are so much bigger than ours. (Side note: The size difference really baffles me. I mean, these kids are all the same age. What are they feeding those boys that they are so big?) Unfortunately, the game went about like we expected with RHS losing 52-7. Hopefully the team doesn't let the losses from the past two weeks get them down, they rest up this week with the bye week, and they come back fighting to start district next week. Let's go Eagles!

Season Record: 1-2

Friday Night Lights: RHS vs Frisco Wakeland

On Friday night for week two, Richardson played Frisco Wakeland. This game is fun since Josh's cousins go to Wakeland and play in the band. It's a nice 2-for-1 getting to see Josh coach and Ethan and Grant march in the same game. Unfortunately, the game didn't go our way and the Eagles lost 52-25. The boys kept it close for most of the first half, but then Wakeland broke it open. The team is definitely improved over last year and I think they will be a fun team to watch the rest of the season.

Season Record: 1-1
