A team seeking to go farther in the playoffs goes up against a team wanting to make the postseason in Saturday’s Jerry Jones Classic.
Odessa Permian will take on Plano High in the fifth annual event, which will take place Saturday afternoon at The Star in Frisco.
Permian, one of the tradition-rich powers in Texas, is coming off an 8-4 season in 2024. The Panthers were defeated in the area round of the UIL 6A Division I playoffs by North Crowley, the eventual champions.
But Permian has high hopes entering this season, returning seven starters on offense and nine on defense. Among those are quarterback Jakob Garcia, who threw for nearly 1,500 yards and 14 TDs, and running back Gavin Black, who rushed for 2,375 yards and 31 TDs.
Last season, Plano finished 5-5 overall and missed a playoff berth, going 4-4 in its district. The Wildcats are returning just two offensive starters and five on defense, but do return tailback Chance Culley, who rushed for 1,139 yards and nine TDs.
