On December 10th, 2012, Oliver, along with RB Bryan Driskell (McKinney Boyd High School), QB/RB Kyle Hicks (Arlington Martin...
Coach Brandon Hickman, head coach of the Rangers, told his players Wednesday before Thanksgiving, “When I think of Thanksgiving, two things come to mind – family and football.”  For the first time in a long time, your Rangers were playing Thanksgiving weekend.  With alumni, out-of-town relatives, and friends travelling for the holiday back to Dallas, more eyes were on...
“It time to get that monkey off our back so to speak,” said Coach Brandon Hickman to his players all week in preparation for their bi-district matchup with the Division 2 winner of 10-5A, McKinney Boyd.  In its almost ten year history in the UIL, Jesuit had only once won a playoff game – a win versus Samuell...
