Plano was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their seventh straight defeat dating back to last season. They were six points away from ending the streak, but they lost a 20-14 heartbreaker at the hands of the Woodstock Blue Streaks. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Reapers of the 26-10 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in October of 2024.
Although Plano took the loss, they still got scores from Kolten Schimandle and Isaac Uhrich.
Don't try to pin the team's loss on the defense: they kept the trenches locked down and allowed a mere two yards per carry. The team can thank Jacob Benitez for the heroic effort on defense: he. Sadly, that's becoming something of a trend for Plano; they were averaging 3.7yards per carry per game earlier this season, but in their last three games they've fallen to only 1.6 per game.
Woodstock had a senior duo take command as Caden Thompson threw for 191 yards and three TDs and Matthew Cress picked up 92 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns. Cress also hauled in two receiving touchdowns, which is notable because the Blue Streaks are undefeated when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Plano's defeat dropped their record down to 0-6. As for Woodstock, their record is now 4-2.
