ALLEN – After rallying to only see Mount Pleasant turn back Princeton’s boys basketball team 60-50 in their first game of the Allen In-N-Out Burger Invitational on Thursday, Dec. 26, the Panthers bounced back with three straight wins to finish the three-day tournament as consolation champion of the silver bracket.

Princeton’s rally in the back half of the bracket was capped off by a 70-61 win over District 6-6A rival McKinney Boyd on Saturday, Dec. 28.

That was the first of two straight wins by the Panthers over a district foe. One day earlier on Friday, Dec. 27, outlasted Plano 63-59 in the consolation semifinals. Earlier that day, the Panthers defeated Frisco Independence 57-49.
