Head coach Riley Dodge told his team to “stare adversity in the eyes.” The Dragons have some momentum heading into the playoffs after a loss to Byron Nelson.
Special to the Star-TelegramOn Friday, October 27th, losing a district game for the first time since 2017. They bounced back with a 63-0 shutout win over Keller Fossil Ridge to close the season at Dragon Stadium on Friday.
“We’ve got a resilient group,” Dodge said. “We’ve got a really good football team. I’m just proud of the way we worked this week and went back to business with a sense of urgency. The kids played a clean football game tonight.”Southlake Carroll elected to differ, and the defense made the decision worthwhile. Fossil Ridge had a solid gain to start but quarterback Logan Cundiff was intercepted by defensive back Eric Garza; the senior returned it all the way to the Panthers’ 20.
“He’s gotten better and better each week and it was good to see he was he was seeing it and feeling it tonight,” Dodge said. “And it was good to get him going as we enter the playoffs.” “We’re super versatile,” Penn said. “We play off each other. We correct each other in practice. It’s just a great running back room. Super positive. We support all of each other. All of us got to eat tonight.”
The Panthers, once again, couldn’t move the chains against a tough Dragon defense. Garza and Fuller both got to the punter and Garza made the block.“He got the block and he was calling for it behind me and it all just happened so fast,” Fuller said. “And I just pitched it. I’m glad he caught it, though.”
The last score of the half was a 10-yard rush by Penn with 15 seconds remaining in the half. Carroll was meticulous about using timeouts and controlling the clock.
