After suffering a 2 yard loss on 3rd down, the Jaguars are bailed out on a 4th & GOAL incompletion with a pass interference penalty. Now it is 1st and goal from the Plano 2.

Uncertainty has now turned into a high probability of no after Davis unexpectedly receives the snap from his center, with 3rd & GOAL from the 12 looming.

Flower Mound go backwards 5 yards as the result of a penalty, now it is becoming uncertain with 2nd & GOAL from the 7 as to whether or not they will score.

Logan Davis finally finds success again with the QB draw, as a 22 yard gain positions the Jaguars on the doorstep of the endzone.

Plano Senior take over at the Flower Mound 39.

And the Wildcat defense forces the turnover as Cody Farhat plays center-field in the middle of defense to pick off Logan Davis. The INT return, which went for a Plano Senior TD, is called back for a personal foul penalty. 

Another re-kick occurred after Plano Senior was called for offside initially, and Flower Mound will finally take over at their own 27.

TOUCHDOWN WILDCATS!

The rugby-style punt goes well for Flower Mound and they place Plano Senior back at their own 30 yard line as we hit 1 minute to go in the first quarter.

The Jaguars come up with minimal gains on 3 straight plays, and an illegal formation penalty doesn’t do anything to ease their troubles.

Absolutely electric by Logan Davis there, as he rolled out to the outside and used raw speed to take it all the way. Flower Mound leads 7-0 with 5:01 to go in the 1st quarter.

It does not matter though, as QB Logan Davis picks up the slack on 4th & 2 and takes it 42 yards to the house. Touchdown Jaguars

Trickeration from the Jaguars should have resulted in 6 points there, but WR Thomas Jeffries drops a sure TD after an initial lateral was made to Clayton Johnson. Huge opportunity missed for Flower Mound.

The Jaguars go for it on 4th Down and easily convert with Chase Lembke bringing in the pass for a big gain. Very unfortunate for the Wildcats as the Plano blitz was nearly on top of the QB Davis.
