The Freshman and JV football teams began their season on Wednesday with the freshman playing at Wylie East and the JV breaking in the new home turf at Sam Parker Field.

The JV team defended their home field notching the victory over the Raiders by a score of 33-26. Sophomore quarterback Mason McMinn threw for two touchdowns and notched another on the ground. Sophomore Dylan Bennett caught a screen pass for a touchdown and sophomore Owen Green recorded a catch and run for a score. Sophomore Trent Lane returned a kickoff for a touchdown and scored a rushing touchdown but left the game late with a knee injury. Evan Shelley forced a fumble in the Tiger endzone that was recovered by Green for a touchback.

The Freshman team did not fare as well losing their opening game 42-8. The lone score for the Tigers was a rushing touchdown by Enrique Bedolla.
