Boys basketball: Chairmen of the boards: Lewisville dominates glass to clinch final playoff spot

FLOWER MOUND - Lewisville attacked the glass with such tenacity Friday that Marcus head coach Clay Cody thought they were outnumbered on the court.

As a result, there will be a new boys basketball champion in Class 5A.

The Farmers scored their first three baskets off offensive rebounds, part of an 11-0 run that saw Lewisville gain a lead they would never relinquish in a 51-44 victory.

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.
