PLANO – The Plano Wildcats and Princeton Tigers came into last Friday’s game in search of their District 6-6A win, but it was Plano that emerged with a 59-35 homecoming victory against Princeton from John Clark Stadium.

Princeton out-gained Plano 281-269 in total yards in the first half, but two lost fumbles, had a field goal blocked and an illegal blindside block penalty that negated a touchdown reception from junior Jordan Mosley with less than one minute remaining in the second quarter were mistakes that added up for the Panthers (1-4, 0-3).

Princeton junior Collin Fannin-White threw a 32-yard touchdown pass and also caught a 77-yard touchdown pass.

Panthers junior quarterback Marcus Flowers threw for 384 yards and four touchdowns on 23-of-34 through the air.
