Marcus 7, Plano 41

Plano struck extremely quickly, after Marcus fumbled on the first play, and roared to a 21-0 first quarter lead, and did not look back, giving the Wildcats their 5th district win in blowout fashion.

Turnovers and penalties kept the Marauders from being able to find the endzone until the second quarter, when C.J Respass found the endzone on a short run. He finished the night with 12 carries for 63 yards.

Plano quarterback Brooks Panhans was extremely efficient, going 10-14 for 135 yards and a touchdown. The Wildcat running-backs also had big days, with Lopaka Yoro going for 63 yards and Brandon Stephens rushing for 57.

Marcus will await their postseason fate, as they are off next week.
