No. 11 Plano East cruised into the area round with a 69-52 win over McKinney Boyd Monday night.

For their efforts, the Panthers draw No. 1 Lake Highlands, who won Tuesday night over Arlington Bowie to set up the matchup of state hopefuls in the area round. The two sides will face off Friday night at the Moody Coliseum Friday night at 6 p.m. for their playoff matchup.
