MCKINNEY – Plano East’s Treyce Seldon carried the ball only 10 times but rushed for 88 yards and two scores to lead his team to a 20-13 District 6-6A win over McKinney on Friday night at McKinney ISD Stadium.
His rushing, coupled with backfield mate Gabe Berliner (3 carries for 44 yards), helped a ground game grind out the win for Plano East (2-7, 2-5).
But the defense made the difference, turning away McKinney (3-6, 2-5) in the final two minutes with an interception in the end zone to preserve the win.
McKinney outgained Plano East with 316 yards of total offense to 218, but Plano East held tough on three fourth-down conversion attempts to hold McKinney to just two Boston Stephens field goals though the first three quarters.
Seldon ripped off a 62-yard scoring run to push the Plano East lead to 20-6.
McKinney pulled to within a score when Kip Killough hit Dylan Mitchell with a 5-yard pass on fourth and goal for their lone TD.
Killough’s determined running paced McKinney with 128 yards on 19 carries.
