Restart: North ready to move past tough two-week stretch

By Richard C. White, rwhite@starlocalnews.com
After a strong 4-0 start to the season, the McKinney North basketball team has endured a subpar 4-5 two-week stretch, one head coach Darryll Craft is eager to put behind them.

"We're more inconsistent than I thought we would be at this point," he said. "We're up and down. I'm disappointed to have five losses. We have to get better defensively and we have to take pride on that side of the court."

The Bulldogs (8-5) have played nearly nonstop over the last two weeks, participating in several tournaments to go along with their usual mid-week games.

PCA's Julius Randle fractures foot, out three months

The Prestonwood Christian Academy boys basketball team will soldier through the next three months without arguably the top high school hoopster in the nation.


USA Today reports that senior Julius Randle suffered a fractured right foot Saturday against Duncanville and as a result, will miss approximately three months. Randle is ranked among the top prospects in the nation, including No. 2 by Rivals and No. 4 by ESPN.

The injury was sustained in Prestonwood's second game of the season, a 58-48 loss to Duncanville at the Thanksgiving Hoopfest. One day prior, Randle led the Lions to a 59-52 victory over Madison Prep and tallied 29 points, 13 rebounds and five assists.

The three-month timetable would leave room for a possible return for the postseason, a task that become tougher than anticipated for a Prestonwood team that also lost highly-touted sophomore Mickey Mitchell for the season due to an ACL injury sustained while quarterbacking the Lions' football team on Nov. 2.

Prestonwood, 1-1 on the year, next takes the court Friday at 8 p.m. in a home outing against Woodrow Wilson.
