Pete’s Pigskin Preview: Plains Cowboys
2025: 3-7, missed playoffs
PLAINS, Texas (KCBD) -After a 3-7 run in 2025, the Plains Cowboys have plenty of reasons to be optimistic for this upcoming year. Head coach Daniel Purvis is approaching his second year with the team and says it all begins in the trenches.
“We got some really talented skill kids, but I think what’s really going to help us is our offensive line. I think it’s something that we struggled with up front last year, and we’ve had significant gains with those kids and strength and knowledge and my coaching staff. I got an unbelievable coaching staff,” he said. “I was able to hire some good young guys that come in here with some veteran guys, so I’m really excited about our coaching staff and I think that’s going to make a big difference for us.”
Purvis tells us there are great things happening in Plains.
“We got a lot of stuff going on. We’re building this new indoor facility, it’s going to be a big football facility and there’s a lot going on and there’s been a lot going on since I’ve been here,” he said. “So, they’re all building a bunch of new stuff, and we got a new big old Jumbotron scoreboard that we’re excited to show off so we’re excited about this year and making the Cowboy Nation proud.”
Key returners include: Brandon Cantu, Kayden Garner, Colter Guetersloh, Roy Herevia, Darwin Marquez, Grant Mills, Jacob Williamson, Mason Williamson, and Owen Youngblood.
