Plano East in talks to host Florida team for 2013 football season
BY Matt Welch, mwelch@starlocalnews.com
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.
An agreement to play in September is in place and a contract should be finalized in the coming days.
