No Thursday night lights for varsity Bearcats
Good news for Sherman Bearcat fans: Looks like there won't be any
odd-day scheduling this fall for the second year in a row. All varsity
football games are scheduled for Friday nights, according to the school.
Last year, because of the shared-stadium situation within the McKinney
and Frisco school districts, Denison was forced to play a Thursday
night District 9-4A game against McKinney High at Ron Poe Stadium.
Two years ago, when Sherman and Denison were paired with Denton ISD
schools, the Bearcats played a Saturday game and the Yellow Jackets
played a Thursday night contest, both against Denton Ryan. Denison
played at Denton Guyer in a Saturday afternoon game and at Denton High
on a Thursday night in 2006. Like with McKinney, three schools share one stadium in Denton.
The Denison 2009 schedule has not been officially released yet, but
since the Jackets host both McKinney schools at Munson Stadium, the
odds favor the Jackets also playing all their 9-4A games on Fridays.
Denison has four trips to Frisco on the agenda, but the Frisco ISD has
two stadiums (FISD Memorial and Pizza Hut Park), which simplifies
scheduling.
Here's the 2009 Sherman varsity football schedule:
Aug. 28 Lake Dallas Away
Sept. 4 Rockwall-Heath Home
Sept. 11 Little Elm Away
