Archer City’s offense was held in check for most of the night while Millsap utilized its depth to pull away from the Wildcats in the fourth quarter in the Bulldogs 39-21 win on Friday, Sept. 9. The Wildcats mustered just 150 yards of total offense and ran just 33 plays in the setback. Millsap wore out the Archer City defense, churning out 476 yards on the ground, led by Ryder Oliver with 230 yards and three scores on 25 totes. Reid Green added 170 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 17 carries.

Holliday and Windthorst each moved up in the TGCA state volleyball rankings. The Lady Eagles, winners of 19-straight matches, climbed up to No.

Much like the season opener against Henrietta, the Windthorst Trojans allowed Muenster to pull away late in the fourth quarter in a 31-13 setback on Friday, Sept. 9.

Holliday churned out nearly 400 yards on the ground, averaging 8.7 yards per carry in a 37-7 romp of previously 10th-ranked Idalou. The Eagles moved up to No. 2 in the DCTF/AP rankings following the win. Regional rival and postseason nemesis Gunter remains No. 1. “Some of the teams that are normally as good as anybody in the state are a little down,” Eagles head coach Frank Johnson said. “It’s been a rebuilding year for several teams we’ve got on our schedule. We didn’t know that when we scheduled them. I think we’ve got a chance to be good eventually. We’ve still got some work to do. I felt like we made strides tonight, especially with some of these backups.”

Archer City freshman quarterback Joe Castles tossed four touchdowns for the second straight game, going 17-of-21 through the air for 336-yards as the Wildcats knocked off Anson 34-17 on Friday, Sept. 2.
