Having won an outright district title with Friday's victory over Allen, Plano East boys basketball completed an undefeated district run Tuesday night with a 69-47 victory over McKinney.
The Panthers finished 10-5A play at 10-0.
East, which was paced by 16 points from senior Pat Birt, opens the playoffs against Skyline or Lake Highlands.
While the Panthers await a play-in game to determine their bi-district opponent, third-place Plano West opens versus Richardson. After losing two straight, the Wolves got back in the win column in Tuesday's regular season finale by defeating second-place Allen, 55-49.
Sophomore Soso Jamabo and junior Tre Anderson scored 19 and 15 points, respectively.
Plano Senior, however, didn't make the cut.
The Wildcats got points from 11 players Tuesday, but none of them scored more than seven in a 55-42 loss to McKinney Boyd. Plano, which was eliminated from playoff contention for a second straight season Friday, finished last in 10-5A.
Girls soccer openers finish at 1-0
Tuesday's District 10-5A girls soccer openers finished at 1-0.
All of them.
The lone Plano ISD squad to win was Plano West. The No. 2 team in the country according to Elite Soccer Report bested McKinney Boyd, 1-0, on a goal from senior Sparky Fischer, an Arkansas signee. Plano East lost to Allen, 1-0, while Plano Senior was defeated by McKinney, 1-0.
Boys soccer winless to start 10-5A
The scoring was more varied in the boys soccer district openers, but results were still rough for PISD as Allen beat Plano East, 2-0, and McKinney Boyd triumphed over Plano West, 6-3, despite a hat trick from Wolves sophomore Trent Johnson.
Plano Senior's opener versus McKinney was delayed by weather until Wednesday night (results not available at press time).

Jones ranked No. 1 in North America
Plano native Seth Jones' march to become the first defenseman taken No. 1 in the NHL Entry Draft in seven years took another step Tuesday as he was named the No. 1 skater in North America in the 2013 midterm rankings by NHL Central Scouting.
Jones would be the first American-born player chosen No. 1 since Patrick Kane in 2007.
Jones plays for the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League.
Jones is fifth among first-year WHL players with 28 points in 33 games. He also has a plus-29 rating. Jones has piled up the points in the past month as the 6-foot-3, 208-pounder tallied six assists and a goal in helping the United States win gold at the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championship.
The race for No. 1 is between Jones and Nathan MacKinnon (Quebec Major Junior Hockey League).
Nike Hoop Summit selects Randle
Prestonwood Christian Academy senior Julius Randle has been selected for the Nike Hoop Summit on Apr. 20 in Portland, Ore.
"Julius was obviously selected based on his ability to play basketball, but more importantly based on his character," said Chris Mayberry, Prestonwood head coach. "He has kept such a positive attitude dealing with the adversity of his injury and will continue to be selected for honors and awards because of his character."
The Nike Hoop Summit is one of the premier high school basketball showcases, pitting the country's top seniors against a World Select Team.
Randle is no stranger to such competition, capturing a gold medal on Team USA at the 2012 FIBA Americas U18 Championship last summer.

Fans in the Stands
The Plano West-Plano Senior boys soccer game is usually a notable happening on the sports calendar, but the Wildcats are trying to up the ante in 2013 with their "Fans in the Stands" campaign.
The game is 7:30 p.m. Feb. 22 at Clark Stadium.
As host team, the six-time Class 5A State Champions hope to draw 2,013 fans to the match and create a party atmosphere with halftime youth soccer, cheerleaders and drummers in the stands.
Planoite among Fan Cave finalists
Plano West alum Mina Park is among the 52 finalists for the MLB Fan Cave 2013 competition.
Park is representing the Texas Rangers, with a chance at moving to New York to watch every baseball game of the upcoming season while blogging, interviewing players and making creative videos. The competition's top 30 finalists are selected through fan voting, the original audition submission and ability to generate media buzz. Each finalist will be flown out to spring training in Arizona later this month.
To vote for Park, go to: mlb.mlb.com/fancave/vote.jsp.
Anderson picks up first offer
With the 2013 Signing Day class squared away, activity is already heating up for 2014.
The latest to garner interest is Plano West junior running back Auston Anderson, who received his first offer Wednesday when Northwestern came calling.
The interest in Anderson makes sense.
In his second varsity season, the 5-foot-8, 175-pounder was a first team all-district and all-Collin County selection after rushing for 1,156 yards and 13 touchdowns. Anderson, who also runs track, was the lighting part of the Wolves' multi-tiered rushing attack in 2012 as the team advanced to the regional finals for the first time in program history.
West already has one Class of 2014 commit as linebacker Lance Cottrell recently pledged to SMU.
