Plano East erased an early 10-point deficit Friday night, pulling away in the second half for a 31-17 win over rival Plano.
The Panthers (5-2, 3-1 District 7-6A) were led by Treyce Seldon, who rushed for 170 yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries. Quarterback Josh Gordon completed 14 of 19 passes for 194 yards and a touchdown while also adding 37 rushing yards and another score.
Plano (2-5, 2-2) built a 10-0 lead in the first half before Plano East answered with 24 straight points. Gordon connected with Aidan Forthman for a 58-yard touchdown via a well-timed flea flicker to help give the Panthers momentum heading into halftime. Seldon later scored twice on the ground allowing Plano East to take control.
Plano East now turns its attention to Richardson Berkner next week on Friday, Oct. 23 in yet another crucial district matchup.
