CARROLLTON — For many seasons, Plano East and playoffs were mutually synonymous terms.
That wasn’t the case the last four or five seasons, but it is in 2015, thanks to the Panthers’ 21-14 victory last Thursday at Hebron. That triumph, which came in an erratic but effective performance, improved PESH’s District 6-6A record to 5-2 (7-2 overall) and clinched a playoff berth.
In other action, Flower Mound Marcus (6-1) edged Plano 34-31, McKinney Boyd beat Lewisville 42-31 and Allen crushed Plano West 69-10.
East’s regular-season finale takes place Friday at defending state champion Allen, which currently leads 6-6A at 7-0. After the regular season concludes, the Panthers and Allen will each open the Div. I playoff season in bi-district action against teams from 5-6A. The Panthers’ first-round opponent will be Denton Ryan on Nov. 13 at C.H. Collins Stadium in Denton.
