Tony Benedetto named Plano East's next head football coach

On Wednesday, Plano ISD announced Tony Benedetto as the next head football coach and athletic coordinator at Plano East.

Benedetto was approved for the position during Tuesday's work session of the PISD Board of Trustees.

Benedetto joins PISD after a productive three-year run leading the Woodrow Wilson football program. During his tenure there, he led the Wildcats to a pair of playoff appearances and back-to-back winning seasons. Last year, Wilson posted an 8-3 record and finished in second place in District 6-5A Division I.

“We could not be more excited to welcome Coach Benedetto and his family to Plano East and Plano ISD. We know he will have an immediate impact with our kids, parents and community,” said Jeff Smith, PISD athletic director via press release. “When anyone meets Coach Benedetto, they will quickly see his passion for young people and athletics. As a third-year head football coach, he has already shown the ability to build a high-quality program that is successful on and off the field. As we move forward together, we look forward to supporting Coach Benedetto as he now leads our Plano East Panthers.”

State Champs!: Plano West hoists tennis title No. 6 after downing Lake Travis

The third time was indeed the charm for the Plano West tennis team.

After coming up one win short of a Class 6A state championship the past two seasons, incurring runner-up finishes at the hands of Houston Memorial and Round Rock Westwood, the Wolves reclaimed their spot on top Friday at Texas A&M University. 

What had the makings of a special postseason from the onset culminated in decisive fashion as West defeated Austin Lake Travis, 10-3, in the 6A state final to capture the sixth UIL championship in program history.

“Each one of that I’ve been a part of feels a little different. This was very gratifying, the way the team pulled together over the course of the year and just refused to go down,” said Morgen Walker, West head coach. “Seeing kids battle for matches, games and sets, it was a lot of fun. Just the sheer competitiveness of the kids showed up this year, especially these last couple of weeks.” FULL STORY AT PLANO STAR COURIER

The 500 Club: Walker notches milestone coaching win; Plano West locks up share of 6-6A tennis title

CARROLLTON — Tuesday was a night of celebration for the Plano West tennis team.

The Wolves won their 10th match in a row following a 19-0 sweep of Hebron to secure no worse than a share of the District 6-6A championship — the 22nd straight year West will finish atop its district.

The post-match festivities, however, centered on the team’s longtime head coach, Morgen Walker, who secured a milestone victory with the 500th win of his coaching career.

“It’s a little surreal, to be honest,” Walker said. “I’ve had a lot of time to reflect over the last couple weeks and reached out to some people — former coaches, former administrators and let them know that I was getting close to this thing and I wanted to thank them. They were a big part of this, whether you were a coach or an administrator who influenced me or supported me — having that support over the years from all those people is huge.”
