Tough Dawgs: North trounces Texas High in playoff opener

PARIS -- In a game full of wild momentum swings, the McKinney North Bulldogs proved to be the last team standing in a dominant 66-45 come-from-behind bi-district victory against Texas High Monday night from Paris High School.

"We came out well and went on a run and then they went on a monstrous run to close out the quarter," said Darryll Craft, North head coach. "Our kids stayed composed in front of that big crowd. They stayed with it and battled back. We didn't get rattled at all tonight."

North stormed out of the gate with a quick lead, only to see Texas High reverse the Bulldogs' fortunes and do the same to an even greater degree that same quarter. The Bulldogs, though, would regroup to run past the Tigers and cruise to the win in their playoff opener.

Plano East in talks to host Florida team for 2013 football season

Published: Thursday, February 14, 2013 11:03 AM CST
The Plano East football team may not have to worry about another double bye week after all.


The Panthers are in negotiations to host Venice (Fla.) for a non-district game, tentatively scheduled for Sept. 27 from Kimbrough Stadium.

A Class 7A school out of Florida, Venice's football program has been in existence since 1951 and captured a state championship in 2000. Last year, the Indians went 9-4 and received votes just outside the top-10 in the Florida AP state rankings all season long.

The matchup be a welcome boost for an East squad that failed to secure a 10th opponent last season and as a result, endured two consecutive bye weeks after starting its 2012 campaign at 4-0. Following the layoff, the Panthers went just 1-4 in District 10-5A.

An agreement to play in September is in place and a contract should be finalized in the coming days.
