<p><em></em><strong>Thursday, April 13 at 7:30 p.m.</strong><br></p><p>The Rangers posted an incredible season to find themselves deep in the playoffs this year. With an undefeated run through preseason play, the Rangers posted victories over Mesquite, McKinney North, Dallas Hillcrest, Irving MacArthur, Burleson Centennial, and Lancaster. Continuing to ride the high of their success, Frisco Lone Star continued to play hard to open district play. </p><p>The team posted only one loss and two draws in district play while also defeating the likes of Frisco, Carrollton Newman Smith, The Colony, Carrollton R.L. Turner, Frisco Wakeland, and more. Outscoring their opponents by a combined 88-18 this season, the team has posted shut-out victories over 11 of their opponents. Through playoffs, the Rangers have ended the seasons of Frisco Memorial (3-0), Dallas Adams (7-0), Frisco Heritage (3-2 in double overtime play), Forney (2-1), and McKinney North (2-1). </p><p>As the team prepares to play a tough Pflugerville Connally squad, fans can expect dominance on the field. Both teams are pretty evenly matched and will look to have a back-and-forth battle during the UIL Class 5A State Semifinal matchup. Led by the likes of Bartek Zabek, Tucker Eason, Peighton Raisey, Khalid Sankoh, Myles Ezidore, Alex Gonzalez, and more, the Rangers can be expected to put up a convincing fight as they look to advance to the championship game. </p>
