Transition Phase: JPII runs past Plano in tourney opener

IRVING -- In its first five wins this season, the John Paul II boys basketball team possesses a 28.4-point margin of victory.

While Thursday didn't produce an outcome of that discrepancy, it was a double-digit win for the Cardinals nonetheless, taking a 57-46 decision over Plano Senior in the first round of the Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD Classic.

"It feels great anytime you can get a win against a good team like Plano," said Jacob Anderson, John Paul head coach. "Our guys were looking forward to this game for a while and this was a really big challenge for us."

PCA's Julius Randle fractures foot, out three months

Published: Monday, November 26, 2012 3:33 PM CST
The Prestonwood Christian Academy boys basketball team will soldier through the next three months without arguably the top high school hoopster in the nation.


USA Today reports that senior Julius Randle suffered a fractured right foot Saturday against Duncanville and as a result, will miss approximately three months. Randle is ranked among the top prospects in the nation, including No. 2 by Rivals and No. 4 by ESPN.

The injury was sustained in Prestonwood's second game of the season, a 58-48 loss to Duncanville at the Thanksgiving Hoopfest. One day prior, Randle led the Lions to a 59-52 victory over Madison Prep and tallied 29 points, 13 rebounds and five assists.

The three-month timetable would leave room for a possible return for the postseason, a task that become tougher than anticipated for a Prestonwood team that also lost highly-touted sophomore Mickey Mitchell for the season due to an ACL injury sustained while quarterbacking the Lions' football team on Nov. 2.

Prestonwood, 1-1 on the year, next takes the court Friday at 8 p.m. in a home outing against Woodrow Wilson.
