Fresh off their second playoff win in as many seasons under athletic director and head coach Chad Worrell, the 9-2 Pilot Point Bearcats head to McKinney for a second-round matchup with the 8-2 Commerce Tigers on Friday.
The Tigers roll into Ron Poe Stadium with a 40-14 bi-district win over the Jefferson Bulldogs, where they forced five turnovers and reached the end zone six times, with five scores from quarterback Aidan Brown.
“They’ve had some big wins against really good teams,” said Chad Worrell, Pilot Point athletic director and head football coach. “… Their offensive line is big, and they do a good job up front opening up running lanes for their backs, and defensively they play a 3-3 stack, so they’re going to have everybody in the box. Their defensive tackles and nose guard can control the line of scrimmage, and their linebackers and secondary are athletic with a lot of speed, so it’s going to be a huge challenge for us.”
