3A-2A-private schools roundup (Zero Week): Abilene Wylie drubs inexperienced Argyle; Madison wins ugly

ARGYLE — The last time the Argyle football team lost a game, it was for all the marbles as it took a 7-point loss in the Class 3A Division II state championship game.

A load of veterans graduated from that title contender, and Argyle’s inexperience showed in Friday’s season-opening 31-14 loss to West Texas power Abilene Wylie.

“We just have to get over that hurdle of inexperience,” Argyle head coach Todd Rodgers said.

Argyle managed just five first downs while allowing 22 first downs to Wylie, all while playing with a new quarterback, Brandon Boyzuick, and missing two starting receivers in Chance Bode and Dalton Ledford, who are nursing injuries.
