On Aug. 19 Rockwall Heath hosted Plano for pre-season scrimmages of their 9th grade through varsity football teams. For Plano, that meant Vines H.S. 9th, Clark H.S. 9th, Plano JV-1, Plano JV-2, and Plano varsity. Each group had about an hour of play, and the varsity level added two 10-minute timed and officiated periods to the end of the scrimmage.
