Plano East (Plano) capped a season for the ages Saturday night at the Alamodome in San Antonio, beating Stony Point 53-41 to secure the Class 6A state title in Texas and an unbeaten finish.
Ranked No. 3 nationally by MaxPreps, the Panthers (39-0) became the first team to run the table in the state's largest classification since
Duncanville did it in 2006-07.
As he has been much of the season for Plano East,
D.J. Hall was the catalyst with 18 points and six rebounds. The 6-foot-5 junior forward tallied 15 points and 10 rebounds in the semifinals and should pile up postseason honors despite having just one reported offer from Texas State.

The Class 6A final was a rematch of a Dec. 30 tournament final also won by Plano East 55-50.
Rachard Angton came off the bench to add 13 points for Plano East.
Jordan Mizell contributed eight point and eight rebounds for the champions.
Stony Point (37-2) was led Saturday by Villanova pledge
Josiah Moseley, who finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds.
Saturday night's win wasn't as dominant as some of East's other postseason performances but it still outscored Stony Point in all four quarters and was never in danger down the stretch.
The Panthers, who didn't enter the MaxPreps Top 25 until Dec. 20, did it all without a star on the roster. Hall, Mizell and
Narit Chotikavanic will likely play at the college level but still weighing options while
Chima Chineke is headed to Iowa for football.
Plano East hadn't played for a state title since 1994 when it lost to
Fort Bend Willowridge (Houston).
