Just for the record, Google maps says 652 miles .... about 9 and 1/2 hours by car. Add a couple more hours by bus.

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Plano,+TX/El+Paso,+TX/@32.1125402,-101.5934415,7z/data=!4m8!4m7!1m2!1m1!1s0x864c21da13c59513:0x62aa036489cd602b!1m2!1m1!1s0x86e73f8bc5fe3b69:0xe39184e3ab9d0222!3e0

And it’s still almost 200 miles from Plano to Louisiana!

Things are bigger in Texas!

His response to the shooting was so obviously fake. How he was not mercilessly mocked for that disgusting display is beyond me.

Plano has to do something to recruit.

Are you suggesting Texas high schools recruit? I am shocked! /mega-sarc

“And it’s not uncommon to play far away teams early in the season.”

De LaSalle, in California, famous for not losing a game for 12 YEARS (see: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2247476/), is hosting St. Thomas Aquinas, from Ft. Lauderdale, FLORIDA (Brian’s Song) - next Friday, 8/23.

FWIW ... Plano was to be the host of this game. El Paso was traveling.
