Coppell junior quarterback Carter Zingelmann set a school record with eight combined touchdowns, leading the Cowboys to a 76-28 win over Richardson. The victory also marked coach Antonio Wiley’s 50th at Coppell and secured the team’s place in the Class 6A playoffs.

By the Numbers
  • Zingelmann: 8 touchdowns — 5 passing, 3 rushing.
  • Zingelmann completed 24 of 27 passes.
  • Coppell scored 56 points in the first half.
  • Wiley’s Coppell record: 50-8; career record: 73-20.
Yes, But

Despite the lopsided win, Richardson scored 28 points, and Wiley said defensive mistakes let the Eagles reach the end zone. He expects Coppell to clean those up before next week.

State of Play
  • Coppell has clinched a Class 6A playoff berth and is preparing for its fifth straight playoff appearance.
  • The Cowboys have one District 7-6A game left.
What’s Next

Coppell closes district play against Plano East at 7 p.m. Thursday at Buddy Echols Field.

Bottom Line

Coppell’s record-setting night confirmed its offensive firepower and postseason place, but tightening its defense remains the priority before the playoffs.
