PLANO – The lack of Friday night experience and inconsistency was apparent in the first half of the season.

“We didn’t play very good in the first five games,” Plano East head football coach Joey McCullough said. “Our lack of experience playing on Friday nights was evident. It’s a whole different speed at the varsity level.”

The third district contest is 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 11 at Tom Kimbrough Stadium.
