McKinney delivered an impressive 62-27 victory against Princeton High School at Jackie Hendricks Stadium on Friday.
Fueled by a brick-solid defense, and an unstoppable offense, McKinney’s quarterback, Jeremiah Daoud, led the Lions with six touchdown passes, 421 passing yards, and 37 rushing yards in front of a packed home crowd.
Princeton’s special teams came out strong early in the game with a 53-yard blocked field goal return by Aiden Rutledge which would bring them all the way to the McKinney 35 yard-line and a nine-yard touchdown pass from Marcus Flowers to Jordan Mosley to put the Panthers on the board first.
McKinney then answered quickly with a 50-yard touchdown pass from Daoud to Amari Holmes, a 36-yard touchdown pass to Jacoby Propes, a three-yard touchdown run by Julian Joseph, and a 49-yard touchdown pass to Khristian Mackintrush.
Both teams went on to score a touchdown each in the second quarter and McKinney would then score three unanswered touchdowns coming out of halftime.
Princeton will look to notch its first District 5-6A win next Friday at Allen.
