Plano East\u2019s baseball team is looking to turn things around after dropping two games last week to McKinney Boyd.<\/p>\n

Xavien Salas tied the score at 1-1 with an RBI single in the bottom of the first, but the Broncos took a 2-1 lead in the top of the second before increasing their advantage to 5-1 after an RBI hit in the fourth.<\/p>\n

Tristan Parker and Tyler Lubow each had two hits for the Panthers (4-4 in district).<\/p>\n

After starting the second half of District 6-6A play with a walk-off victory over Princeton, Plano East\u2019s softball teams dropped its next two outings, falling 4-2 to Plano West and 7-3 versus Prosper last Friday.<\/p>\n

Plano East jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning following a bases-loaded walk by La\u2019Courtnia Butler and an RBI ground-out by Jayla Taggart, but the Lady Panthers (5-6 in 6-6A) couldn\u2019t manufacture another run over the game\u2019s final six innings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Lady Wolves tied the score at 2-2 on a Brooke Reasoner two-run double in the first before taking the lead for good with an RBI single in the third.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gina Martin and Kayleigh Miller tallied two hits each in Plano East\u2019s loss to Prosper.<\/p>\n
