40-0

Last time we saw that record was in 2012 when the Baylor Lady Bears won the National title in Denver.

Plano East is the FIRST 6-A Boys Basketball team to go undefeated to win the state title. They beat Round Rock Stony Point tonight 53-41. Stony Point only had one loss coming in to this game, and it was back in December against Plano East. After tonight, they now have two losses to Plano East.

The new Principal of Plano East, David Jones, was so proud of these guys as he hung those medals on every one of them. David happens to also be a Plano East Panther Alum. I'm retired from PISD, but I had the pleasure of working with David at Jasper and Shepton and spoke with him at their final home game a few weeks ago. He is so stoked to be their Principal, and told me it's the BEST job in the world.

These guys have been playing together since they were at Murphy Middle School. Some, since Elementary School. The quickness and talent runs deep into their bench. Nine of those players have a GPA of over 4.0. 2 of them have a GPA of over 4.5.

All 3 of my adult kids graduated from Plano East. I am so very proud of this team. My nephew played Basketball at Plano East 20 years ago.

It's a great day to be a Plano East Panther!!!
