Plano West advances to state
Dallas Morning News by Greg Riddle
Fort Bend Ridge Point (46-4), ranked No. 19 in the nation, will play No. 32 Plano West (39-5) in Friday’s 7 p.m. 6A semifinal that is a rematch of last season’s semifinal that Ridge Point won in four sets en route to a state runner-up finish. Friday’s rematch features six players who earned Under Armour All-America recognition — Kentucky signee Reagan Rutherford (first team), Texas A&M pledge Claire Jeter (second team) and Rice signee Nia McCardell (third team) of Ridge Point and UCLA signee Iman Ndiaye (second team), DePaul signee Jill Pressly (honorable mention) and Miami signee Noelle Piatas (honorable mention) of Plano West.
West keeps rolling with sweep of Midway
Plano Star Courier.
The Plano West volleyball team, currently ranked No. 9 in the country by USA Today and in the top 10 in the Texas Girls Coaches Association’s first postseason poll, kept rolling in the early going of the 2019 postseason Friday.
The Lady Wolves traveled to Ennis to take on Waco Midway, which they dispatched by way of a 25-17, 25-22, 25-17 sweep.
It was another chapter in the ever-growing tale of West getting by on the strength of its talent and motivation to return to the state tournament, as head coach Justin Waters, who has been told by his players repeatedly this season that they would never fail to show up when it mattered, said he witnessed another ho-hum effort despite the lopsided result.

Kelsey Samuels, ksamuels@starlocalmedia.com
Tyler Soukup, who served as Hebron's offensive coordinator last season, was appointed the new head football coach and athletic director for Plano West Senior High School at Tuesday's Plano ISD school board meeting.
Soukup will replace former athletic director and head football coach Scott Smith, who accepted a new position within the district in November after a second consecutive 0-10 campaign for the Wolves.
"We are excited that our long and extensive search yielded such a capable, passionate and dedicated leader," said Gerald Brence, PISD athletic director. "We couldn't be more excited to welcome Tyler Soukup to the Plano ISD coaching team and the Plano West football program."Full story at PLANO STAR COURIER.
