Frisco, TX — In a commanding performance Thursday night at Kuykendall Stadium, the Prosper Walnut Grove Wildcats rolled past the Frisco Liberty Redhawks, 70-14. From the opening drive to the closing buzzer, Walnut Grove showed why it’s one of the state’s elite 5A Division II powers.
Offensive Balance, Defensive Pressure
