Dear Plano ISD Families,
We have some exciting news to share regarding the addition of a new middle school sport for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year. We are thrilled to announce the addition of Boys & Girls Soccer Teams for all thirteen middle schools here in Plano ISD. We believe that middle school soccer will provide another student engagement opportunity for more students to learn valuable life skills and enjoy the lessons learned from being on a team.

Realignment reaction: Breaking down the UIL's new football districts
Thursday morning may as well have been a holiday on the high school sports schedule, as the UIL held its biennial realignment and unveiled the new athletic districts for the 2024-25 and 2025-26 school years.
It's an occasion that sets the wheels in motion for the next two years of UIL athletics, with high schools learning their future district opponents, the regions they'll reside in, and just how the path may take shape for them to achieve some of their big-picture goals on the playing field.
As the dust settles on Thursday's big reveal, the Star Local Media sports staff breaks down the impact of each of the new football districts for its local high schools.

9th Grade Unification
January 19, 2024
Dear Plano ISD Families,
We have some exciting news to share regarding the next alignment piece of the high school and senior high athletic programs. The Athletics Department will begin to unify 9th grade sports teams and cheer teams across the district for the 2024-2025 school year. As we have successfully restructured our JV programs, next year’s alignment will include combining 9th grade volleyball, basketball and football teams.
This alignment will merge 9th grade athletes from each high school into one 9th grade team aligned to their feeder senior high school. Football games will continue to be played at district stadium sites while volleyball and basketball games will continue to be played at all high school campuses on a rotational basis. Practice locations and schedules will be shared later this spring which will include transportation shuttle service.
Cheer will combine the 9th and 10th grade cheer teams at each high school campus into one Game Day Junior Varsity (JV) cheer team at each high school feeder and will cheer at 9th, JV and JV2 games. Likewise, 11th and 12th grade cheer teams will be combined at each senior high school into one Game Day Varsity cheer team and will cheer at Varsity games. An additional JV Competition cheer team for 9th and 10th grades will be formed for each combined high school feeder. A Varsity Competition team comprised of students from grades 9-12 will also be created at each senior high school. All cheer teams will be selected through a tryout process.
There will be no impact to the high school fine arts programs with this change, including band and drill team. This alignment will only impact athletics and cheer as detailed above.
This information, along with an FAQ, will be available on our athletics website. In addition, this spring our high school and senior high coaches will set up middle school nights to talk with students and parents about the high school athletic program, including information about practice locations and times, transportation schedules and game details.
We are excited for this unification of our 9th grade teams and believe this will strengthen the school community and enhance the student experience at the high school level. This alignment will be a game changer as we level up for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year.
Respectfully,
Dr. Selenda Freeman

Woodard closes book on memorable time at Plano East
By Matt Welch | Star Local Media
As the Plano East boys soccer team wrapped up its final home game of the 2023 season on March 7, head coach Rick Woodard stayed in the Kimbrough Stadium locker room by himself for a few minutes afterwards.
It was a moment of reflection for the Panthers' longtime leader, having coached every home game for East inside that venue and countless others elsewhere over the course of nearly three decades at the helm.
"You're just thinking back a little bit on both the good times and not-so-good times," Woodard said. "When I came out and saw our trainer and assistant coach (Jake) Downs, they gave me a smile and I said that I just wanted to take a minute. Twenty-seven years is a long time."
It wasn't long after, leading up to the final game of the year, when Woodard said he told his players that the 2023 season would be his last — announcing his retirement after 35 years of coaching, including 27 at East.
"It was tough. For me, it's always been about the boys," Woodard said. "The wins and losses will come and that's just the way my high school coach would talk to us about it — the wins and losses will come, but it's about getting the boys ready to be successful. I'm really close with this group, lots of them. I think the last day of school when I see the boys for that last get-together, it'll hit me then."

Remembering a legend: Plano athletics community reflects on life, legacy of John Clark
Plano sports one of the most storied programs in all of Texas high school football. And although the team's lineage dates back to the early 1900s, the Wildcats' ascent to state powerhouse in the 1960s and 1970s was synonymous with the arrival of John Clark.
Two years as an assistant under Tom Gray gave way to a 10-year run as head coach that produced two state championships and ushered in the Wildcats' dynasty on the gridiron. The 17 years that followed as Plano ISD athletic director kept Plano's winning ways intact and cemented a legacy that still resonates with the school district's coaches and administrators to this day.

Cody White named Plano's next head football coach
On Tuesday, Plano ISD announced Cody White as the next head football coach and athletic coordinator at Plano Senior High School.
With more than 28 years of coaching experience under his belt, White comes to Plano after previously leading the football program at Brentwood Academy (Tenn.). During his tenure in Tennessee, which dates back to 2012, White was a three-time state coach of the year recipient and Brentwood athletics totaled 39 team state championships under his leadership.
As a head football coach, White has amassed a career record of 138-49 with four state championships and six state semifinal appearances. In addition to Brentwood, White also led the football program at Denison for seven years with additional stops at the offensive coordinator at Odessa Permian and the passing game coordinator at Highland Park. He also coached quarterbacks at the latter two.

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.”
