AUGUST 30th- The Permian Panthers (1-0) earned a hard-fought 13-10 victory over the Plano Wildcats in their season opener at Ratliff Stadium on Friday.
After an hour-long weather delay the visiting Wildcats got on the board first, settling for a 24-yard field goal after a big defensive stand by MOJO. The first quarter would end with Plano on top 3-0.
Permian answered early in the second period with a 29-yard run by Jakob Garcia down to the Plano four-yard line. Junior runningback Gavin Black cashed it in from there on the next play. The extra point try was no good, leaving the Panthers with a 6-3 lead with 11:45 remaining in the first half.
After a series of three-and-outs by both teams, the Wildcats would finally get into the endzone with 1:09 to play in the half. Plano took a 10-6 lead into the break.
The teams traded punts in the third quarter, until Gavin Black took a handoff 53 yards to paydirt for the Panthers. The extra point was good, and Permian had regained the lead at 13-10 as the third quarter ended.
Neither team could get much going offensively in the final stanza, and MOJO was able to run out the clock on their final possession. Final score Permian 13, Plano 10.
Gavin Black led the way for MOJO with 174 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries. Jakob Garcia added 44 yards on the ground. Overall, the Panthers gained 267 yards of offense, while the defense limited Plano to 187 total yards. The win gives Permian a 1-0 record and their first over Plano going back to 1977.
