BY Matt Welch, mwelch@starlocalnews.com
After taking the district and regional ranks by storm, the Plano East girls track and field team raised the bar a bit further Saturday at the UIL Class 5A State Championships.

But in a whirlwind of emotions for all involved at Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin, the Lady Panthers were no different in finishing a program-best fourth place in the team standings with 40 points.

East's quest for the first UIL team title in school history fell 10 points short of DeSoto (50), with Garland capturing second (46) and Mansfield Timberview claiming third (41).

TCU junior, and Plano West alumnus, Jason Coats was selected Tuesday in the 2011 MLB Draft.


Coats was taken in the 12th round with the 365th overall pick by the Baltimore Orioles. Coats has been a staple in left field in his time at TCU, playing in 186 games and making 182 starts.

During his time with the Horned Frogs, Coats has 157 RBIs (which rank fifth in program history) and 56 doubles (third in program history). Coats is a career .335 hitter that has tallied 74 multi-hit games, 43 multi-RBI contests, 10 triples and 27 home runs.

West was a key starter in 2008 when the Wolves won the Class 5A State and MaxPreps National Championships.
