In another heartbreaking defeat, Farmersville football came within a converted kick of glory, as they lost to the Van Alstyne Panthers 42-41 in overtime.
Thoughts from Coach Hankins:
“That’s two weeks in a row that we’ve played our butts off against teams that are supposed to beat us,” Hankins said. “We go out there and fight from 15-0 to make it 21-21. We freak out in big situations and we have to quit doing that.”
