No. 1 Plano East continued its unbeaten run this season with another district win.
This time, it was against their crosstown rivals, Plano, as the two sides came back from winter break. Plano and Plano East shared the District 6-6A championship last season, with Plano winning both matchups in the final seconds.
This time, Plano East didn’t allow that to happen, with a gritty defensive performance, leading to a 68-53 win on their home court last Friday. The Panthers won by making 15 more free throws than their opponents, and improved to 22-0 on the season following their victory in the Championship Tournament in Mansfield the week before.
