STEPHENVILLE — After struggling to build much momentum in the first half, Argyle found its footing late in the third quarter and held on for a 35-28 win over Abilene Wylie on Friday in the Class 5A Division II Region I final.

No. 1 Argyle (14-0) advances to face No. 8 South Oak Cliff (11-3), the defending 5A-DII state champion, after the Bears beat No. 9 Melissa (11-2) by a score of 30-16 in Friday night’s 5A-DII Region II final. The teams will square off next week for a spot in the state title game.

The Eagles’ defense delivered with eight sacks, and the offense found its footing in the third quarter, combining to do just enough for a win. The performance was needed to overcome a 14-7 halftime deficit.

“We gave them some pointers to do some things offensively and defensively in the second half, and we executed at a very high level,” Argyle coach Todd Rodgers said. “It was all a by-product of just calming down and keeping perspective.”

Quarterback John Gailey helped lead the way, running five times for 24 yards and three touchdowns along with some key pass completions despite only throwing for 95 yards.

Running back RJ Bunnell chipped in 22 carries for 127 yards and one touchdown, and running back Landon Farris added 11 carries for 30 yards and a score.

After the teams exchanged a pair of punts to open the contest, Argyle got the scoring started with what would be the first quarter’s lone score. The Eagles faced fourth-and-goal from the Wylie 1-yard line, and Gailey ran it in himself for the game’s first score with 5:58 to play in the first frame.

Argyle held that lead for much of the opening half, making a key fourth-and-goal stop at its own 1 with 4 minutes left in the half on a Wylie quarterback sneak play.

The Bulldogs eventually scored a 1-yard touchdown run on a quarterback keeper to tie the game with 1:12 left in the half. Then an Argyle interception to start its next drive gave Wylie another prime opportunity, and it capitalized with a 10-yard touchdown pass to lead 14-7 with 12 seconds left in the half.

The Eagles committed three penalties to help fuel the Bulldogs’ go-ahead drive.

Defensive lineman Riley Van Poppel, a Nebraska pledge and one of Argyle’s key senior leaders, gave a talk to the team just before the start of the second half to help inspire an improved performance.

“Word for word, I gathered them up and I said — ‘Y’all boys need to take a look around,’ Van Poppel said. “’This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. You have a whole town behind you in these stands; you’re never going to play on this field again. Don’t let this be the last time you play with this team.’”

After some early jitters in the second half, Gailey settled in to lead a key scoring drive. He completed three passes on the drive, then ran in from 10 yards out to finish it and tie the game at 14 with 1:44 left in the third quarter.

A key defensive stop set the Eagles up to take the lead on their ensuing drive as Gailey ran in from a yard out to make it 20-14 after a blocked point-after try.

“The difference was just getting it right in the locker room,” Gailey said. “In the locker room, I trust my line, and we were all talking — just take a deep breath, throw the ball and just focus.

“It took everything we’ve got.”

Then Van Poppel came up with a key fumble recovery that set Argyle up at the Wylie 4. Farris scored from there to make it 28-14 with 8:47 left in the fourth quarter after a successful 2-point conversion.

The Bulldogs found an answer with an 11-yard touchdown pass to make it 28-21 with 5:36 left in the fourth quarter. Bunnell answered with an 11-yard touchdown run to make it 35-21 Argyle with 2:14 to play.

Wylie drove down the field for another score on a 2-yard shovel pass to make it 35-28 with just 1:06 left. Its ensuing onside kick was recovered by Argyle, which kneeled out the clock to seal the victory.

In taking on South Oak Cliff next week, the Eagles face a formidable squad in the defending 5A-DII state champions. Still, their sights are set on a state championship, and they’ll need a win over the Bears to have a chance at it.

“It’s very exciting, but at the end of the day our one goal is to go to state,” Van Poppel said. “We’re happy, we’re going to celebrate it today, watch film tomorrow, get corrected. Then go play next week, get the win and move on to state. That’s the end goal.”

In its first year as a 5A school, Argyle High sends two students to all-state choir

Argyle High School students Aimee Gray and Levi Pabst head to all-state choir this weekend.While they said they’re proud to represent their school in the performance at the Texas Music Educators Association in San Antonio, both students said the honor is a reflection of the tight-knit family that is the choir.“I’d like to kind of let the public know that our choir is — even though we go by the slogan ‘Love your neighbor’ — it honestly is one of the most inviting and familial feel group ...

Argyle High School students Aimee Gray and Levi Pabst head to all-state choir this weekend.

While they said they’re proud to represent their school in the performance at the Texas Music Educators Association in San Antonio, both students said the honor is a reflection of the tight-knit family that is the choir.

“I’d like to kind of let the public know that our choir is — even though we go by the slogan ‘Love your neighbor’ — it honestly is one of the most inviting and familial feel group that I think you’ll find around here,” said Gray, who said she craved for a group to belong to when her family moved to Texas from Scotland six years ago.

She took a lot of ribbing from her peers for her accent. Then she joined choir and found a group of students whose goal is to speak with one voice through music.

Both Pabst and Gray sing in the top choir at Argyle High, a mixed-voice concert choir, as well as performing with Remedy, the school’s a cappella choir.

Students who compete for a spot in all-state choir have a menu of requirements to meet. They have to excel in a sight-reading evaluation as well as sing three pieces from an approved list of music. Singers have to show that they have strong pitch, tone and breath support as well as a good ear for a composer’s intentions. They also sing in multiple languages. To put the competition into perspective, about 70,000 young singers put themselves through the arduous audition process for all-state choir. Only 1,810 make it.

Pabst said landing a spot on Texas’ all-state represents a journey that started for him a few years ago.

“I was really a band kid back in middle school,” said Pabst, a baritone who will sing with the bass section of the all-state mixed choir. “And then in seventh grade, my mom sort of waved the brochure for Little Mermaid Jr. and was like, ‘You’re going to do this!’”

Pabst was a little dubious, but he ended up singing the role of Grimsby, Prince Eric’s escort in the junior version of the Disney musical.

“After opening night, I’m crying in the lobby,” Pabst said. “So I stuck with it. It felt just like a family. It was such a powerful experience.”

Evan Ramos, who joined Argyle ISD as the high school choir director this year, said he is especially proud of Pabst and Gray, who will sing with the second alto section in the all-state treble choir.

“This is also our first year [to compete as a] large school choir because this is the first year that Argyle is a 5A school,” Ramos said. “I will say that both of these students have made small-school choir at all-state before.”

Both Gray and Pabst found choir rewarding after they joined, and found themselves as willing to put in the time and work as their athletic peers devote to their sports.

“The people in the choir program — they were kind of the first people to just, like, let me just sound like myself when I first joined,” Gray said. “And then since then, I became friends with a girl who was the old choir president. The way she just allowed everyone to be friends with her and her being an inspiration was really cool.”

Pabst got bitten by the bug in that middle school musical and hasn’t looked back.

“I just stuck with it because it really felt like, more than anything else I’ve ever done, just like a family,” Pabst said “And you know, it was such a powerful experience that I couldn’t really imagine devoting myself to anything else.”

Ramos said he inherited a strong program used to rigorous training and work. Neither Pabst nor Gray were behind on the competitive skills that all-state judges appreciate.

“It wouldn’t be fair for me to take the accolades for this group,” he said. “Will Griswold was the choir director who preceded me. He did more than I will ever be able to. He was a wonderful director and did a wonderful job preparing these two kids for this. I would be very remiss not to say that.”

Ramos said Pabst and Gray are exemplary. They show their peers that success comes from drilling down on the part of music that scares you. For Gray, who said she has to plug away at music theory and sight-reading, that means rehearsing trouble spots doggedly.

“I think it demonstrates two things,” Ramos said. “First, it demonstrates people who are willing to try something hard just for the sake of doing something hard. Honestly, if you just consider all the man-hours that it takes to prepare this music, that they take over the summertime to learn the music, that the auditions that are on Saturdays and go all day long — if ... it’s just for the glory, it ain’t worth it.

“It’s more about just sort of the willingness to try something hard because honestly, life is full of hard things that you’re going to have to do. I can yell and scream at them, shove this music in their face as often as I want to, but until it comes from them intrinsically, nothing’s going to happen.”

Ramos said Gray and Pabst sacrifice a lot to succeed in music.

“The thing about Aimee and Levi is that they’re incredibly self-disciplined,” Ramos said. “Incredibly self-disciplined. There would be times where I would be sitting eating my lunch, and Aimee would be going over a section that we weren’t even going to be auditioning for, like, months. One of the pieces, she was going over the section, like being on the piano, working, and she was upset about it but fixing it because she knew what she needed to work on.”

Ramos said Pabst’s strength at sight-reading and his dedication makes him a leader for his section.

“It’s just sort of that self-discipline of saying, ‘I’ve taken it personally,’” he said. “They approach their work as if to say, ‘If I make it to the next round, it’s not because somebody else pulled me aside and did it, but because I did. Because I took the time to make this happen.’”

Pabst said the choir program teaches deep listening and teamwork.

“With choir, effectively the goal is to make it sound like four people singing: a tenor, a bass, an alto and a soprano,” he said. “You have to try to match everyone else as well as you can while also making sure that you know everything you’re singing is correct on the page, and while you’re looking at your conductor to make sure that you’re staying in time. You have to focus on so many outside elements. It forces you to be a team player. You can’t just sit in your own little bubble”

Gray said choir teaches students how important it is to show up with your homework done and ready to trust the other singers to do what the music guides them to do.

“It is really important for every student in there to have the same passion towards what they’re doing,” she said. “Sometimes, you know, you can have a day where like half of the choir’s acknowledged, ‘I’m done for the day.’ Then you can really tell and it really, like, hurts everyone else. I think you have to focus on the social side all the time, as well as the technical side, for everyone to always be like a team.”

Ramos said those principles root everyone to the choir slogan.

“That idea, that ‘Love your neighbor,’ that’s one of the big reasons I came to Argyle,” Ramos said. “The students really mean it, and it shows.”

SOUTHLAKE — The difference a week makes was clearly shown Friday night as Argyle defeated Grapevine 44-27, advancing to the Class 5A Division II state quarterfinal round.

Coming off a low-scoring 7-0 win over Wichita Falls Rider in last week’s area round, the Eagles (13-0) saw their offense bounce back in a big way. Junior quarterback John Gailey threw for 221 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in the contest to help lead the way.

“We found our mistakes and we executed and tried to fix them,” Gailey said. “We just did the things we needed to win.”

Argyle now awaits the winner of Saturday’s contest between Abilene Wylie (9-3) and Canutillo (10-2). The winner will face the Eagles next week with a trip to the state semifinals on the line.

Senior running back Landon Farris got things started for Argyle early.

A 75-yard, 10-play drive led to Farris’ first touchdown of the half with an 11-yard score. The ensuing point-after try was missed, giving the Eagles a six-point lead.

Forcing a punt in the ensuing Mustangs (11-2) possession, Argyle capitalized on the defensive stop with a 34-yard field goal off the foot of junior kicker Carter Buxton. Another Eagles stop on the next drive led to Farris’ second touchdown of the contest with a 4-yard rush to extend the Argyle lead to 16-0, which would hold for the remainder of the opening frame.

Grapevine showed life to start the second quarter.

A 71-yard drive was capped with senior quarterback Evan Baum's pass to junior tight end Brady Wagner in the end zone. Similar to the Eagles' first touchdown, the extra point was missed.

The Mustangs' defense held Argyle for the first time with 8:11 to go in the second quarter. Senior running back Reid Watkins took advantage of the stop with a 2-yard rushing touchdown to bring the game’s score to 16-12. Trying to make it a two-point game, Grapevine went for two and was unsuccessful.

Momentum would once again shift to the side of the Eagles before halftime.

Gailey threw a 75-yard catch-and-run touchdown to sophomore wide receiver/defensive back Will Krzysiak, which was directly followed by an Argyle pick-six. Junior defensive back Devon Owen jumped a Baum pass at the Grapevine 35 and returned it to the end zone to make it a 30-12 Eagles lead at the break.

Getting the ball back to start the second half, the Mustangs came out swinging. A 75-yard drive that was culminated with a 4-yard touchdown rush by senior athlete Parker Polk got Grapevine within 11 of the Eagles.

The Mustangs continued to capitalize on the momentum shift in the second half as Gailey threw an interception to senior defensive back Drew Nelson. Baum followed up with a 91-yard touchdown to senior receiver Kaden Cook on a post route. A successful two-point conversion brought Grapevine within three.

The Mustangs did not score again.

Senior running back RJ Bunnell led the Argyle pull-away effort at the end of the third quarter. Bunnell rushed for 120 yards and a touchdown, which came with 4:22 remaining in the third quarter; 75 of Bunnell’s rushing yards came on his touchdown-scoring drive.

An interception with 6:24 remaining by senior Eagles defensive back Jaaqwan Felton led to Argyle’s final touchdown. With 2:47 remaining, Gailey found junior tight end Hunter McFaul from 4 yards out to put the game out of reach.

Baum threw a desperation fade with 1:44 left that found the hands of senior defensive back Trey Batson and helped officially end the game.

Polk led the Mustangs' offense with 124 rushing yards. Baum ended his season and career with 225 passing yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. Cook led both teams in receiving with two catches for 111 yards and a touchdown.

Argyle answered some strong surges by Grapevine to complete the season sweep and advance to the fourth round of the playoffs, a year after exiting in the regional semifinal round.

“It’s a game of chess,” Argyle coach Todd Rodgers said. “There’s punches and there’s counterpunches — you have to respond.”

“A good football team does not need an emotional moment to get them down. They need to respond, and I think our team did that.”

FLOWER MOUND — A contingent of 14 student-athletes was honored during Argyle’s national signing day ceremony Wednesday afternoon at Argyle High.

The group featured signees from seven different sports, including four players each from the school’s girls basketball and girls soccer teams.

Sophie Placke was the headliner of the soccer group, signing to play for Louisiana-Lafayette. She will join a plethora of former Denton-area high school players there, including her sister Gabi along with Guyer alumni Sisley and Mariella Stephens and fellow signee Natalie Mayes, currently a senior at Guyer.

Placke was originally at Guyer herself before transferring to Argyle ahead of last school year and played a key role for the Lady Eagles last season. She helped them amass an overall record of 24-2-1 and advance to the regional final round of the playoffs.

“It’s something I’ve always wanted to do since I was really little,” Placke said of signing. “Actually being here and doing it is really surreal.

“Having [Gabi] there is great because I don’t like being away from family. Having her there, I can be close to her. Obviously we’re really close, so we’re just going to grow even closer while we’re there.”

Placke was joined in signing by teammates Kennedi Banar (Delta State), Ella Atkins (Oklahoma Christian) and Avery McNatt (Hardin-Simmons).

Holding a separate ceremony Wednesday evening at Denton Country Club, Argyle boys golfer Gaven Lane signed with Oklahoma State, one of the top golf programs in the nation. The Cowboys have won 11 national championships overall with the most recent coming in 2018.

Lane won last year’s Class 4A individual state championship after shooting a six-under-par 66 in the final round. His performance helped the Eagles cruise to the 4A team title with a 47-stroke edge over the second-place team.

Volleyball standout Olivia Sanchez also signed to play at a Louisiana school, choosing Louisiana-Monroe for her collegiate home. She posted 304 kills, 410 digs and a team-leading 42 aces this fall as the Lady Eagles made an improbable run to the third round of the playoffs.

Sanchez takes pride in what she and the team were able to accomplish and cherished having many of them at the ceremony.

“Being able to be around everyone and have all my friends and family here to support me makes me feel so loved,” Sanchez said. “Being able to sign one silly little piece of paper that’s going to say you’re going to play at a higher level than you’ve ever played before, it’s really exciting.”

Then for the girls basketball team, all four of its seniors signed to play in college.

Madi Lumsden led the way as she inked with Angelo State University. Lumsden was a first team all-area honoree last season after posting 13.5 points and 4.5 assists per game along with swiping more than 80 steals on a team that ranked No. 1 in the state for much of the year.

Teammates Katelyn Jones (Siena College), Ashlin Crabtree (Vanguard University of Southern California) and Savannah Bennett (Hardin-Simmons) rounded out the team’s other three signees.

“I’m just super proud of each and every one of them, and all the athletes here at Argyle,” girls basketball coach Chance Westmoreland said. “It’s just a reflection of how much work the kids have put into it and also their parents and a lot of the support systems.

“I’m excited because I’ve got four seniors that all want to play at the next level, so I know they’re going to put the time into it this year to be great players. I think that’s going to make our team a lot better.”

Other signings included girls golfer Madison Wert (Midwestern State), track and field athlete Paige Arthur (Hardin-Simmons) and softball player Cadence Schrader (Clark University).

Finally, Argyle senior Abby Baker rounded out the group with one of the area’s more unique signings of the day. Baker signed with Penn State to play lacrosse, which is not a UIL-sanctioned sport.

She competed as part of the Flower Mound Lacrosse Association along with the select team 214 Lacrosse en route to earning a college scholarship.

“It means the absolute world,” Baker said of signing with Penn State. “It just feels like a big culmination of everything you’ve worked for, everything my coaches have helped me with. I know my hard work has paid off and I’m going to a school I love.”
