It’s been an exciting spring for the Plano East football program, as the Panthers held an intrasquad scrimmage last Saturday, May 11 at Kimbrough Stadium.

Coach Tony Benedetto has been pushing the Panthers this spring, as they look to return to the postseason for a second straight year. However, the goal is to do much more than just make it back to the playoffs.
