Paris Wildcats

[Celina8]

Saw Paris beat Mt Pleasant 41-7 and they also pulled off a victory against a very good Gilmer team . Right now I have Argyle , Melissa as taking the top to spots for district and it looks like Paris will battle Celina for the third place slot.

Maybe, maybe not. I could be wrong, but unless Paris develops a passing game they won't be able to get to the next level. I think teams that actually play good defense against the run would beat them handily provided they are able to score against their defense, which is pretty dang good. Paris is big and fast as always, but not very disciplined. They are dirty, and it seems their coaches condone that sort of behavior. I can't confirm, but I heard there were several ejections in their game with Mt. Pleasant, 3 from MP and 4 from Paris.

Final Paris 28
Melissa 25

Congrats to the Paris Wildcats on a great big win. Not sure how the game went, but Paris came out on top in this District Opener for both teams. It's a very BIG win for Paris and could determine the playoff pairings going forward.

Paris was down 25-9 late in the third quarter but came back and went ahead 28-25 with 1:17 left then held off Melissa for one final drive

Looks like Paris scored 21 straight while holding Melissa scoreless the rest of the game......excellent defense by the Wildcats and a heckuva offensive execution when needed.

Not sure which Gilmer team you've been watching.
