Defensive battle: Lone Star takes down Celina in low-scoring affair

CELINA – Although the district season was just one-game old heading into Tuesday night’s showdown between Frisco Lone Star and Celina, the matchup figured to play a key role in determining playoff seeding and perhaps the District 10-3A championship.

Consider Lone Star (21-5) the front runners after the Lady Rangers earned a 42-37 road victory to improve to 2-0 in district action this season.

“It’s still way too early to get comfortable in our district,” said Katie Stinton, Lone Star head coach. “It doesn’t get any easier from here.”

Prestonwood Christian Academy LB Mike Mitchell commits to Ohio State

Published: Saturday, January 5, 2013 2:51 PM CST
Few college football programs have a tradition at linebacker like Ohio State.


It's only fitting that the Buckeyes recruited one of the nation's best at the position, as Prestonwood Christian Academy senior Mike Mitchell announced his commitment to play for Ohio State Saturday at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

The Buckeyes received the nod over the likes of Texas A&M, Oregon and Oklahoma.

Mitchell, a 6-foot-4, 216-pound four-star recruit who is currently ranked No. 30 in the nation according to Rivals and No. 3 at linebacker, anchored the Prestonwood defense this season. As a senior, Mitchell totaled 190 tackles -- 17.3 per game --, four sacks, seven quarterback hurries and five forced fumbles with the Lions.

Also a contributor on special teams, Mitchell's 2012 campaign also includes a 100-yard kickoff return touchdown. Offensively, he rushed for 61 yards and two touchdowns on just seven carries.
