Junior Gavin Perryman scored 22 points, but a Plano East defense that held Jesuit to a 33 percent clip from the field upended the Rangers, 62-47, on Tuesday night at Walsh Gym. The Rangers scored 13 points off of 15 Plano East turnovers, but the Panthers were able to pull away from the Rangers in the third quarter.
 
Perryman hit four three-pointers while shooting 6-of-14 from the floor, closing out the contest tying senior T-Monk Simons and junior Will Cordle with two assists. Junior Camden Roy secured seven points with three rebounds, two blocks and two steals while senior Eli Steger added four points, two rebounds, a steal, assist and block.
 
Jesuit leapt out to a six-point lead off of a pair of three-pointers by Perryman, but East took the game over with a 12-2 run to end the quarter, heading into the second quarter holding a 12-8 lead. Junior Cal Linn hit two free throws with 4:17 left in the second quarter to draw the Rangers to within a point of a Plano East team that opened the quarter 1-for-5 from the field, but six unanswered points over the final four minutes sent the Panthers into halftime with a 23-16 lead.
 
Plano East opened the second half with a 15-7 run, building a 15-point lead with 1:55 remaining in the third. Simons hit a three-pointer, then Perryman converted a traditional three-point play to cut the lead to 11. However, Plano East struck back once again with five unanswered points to take a 17-point lead into the fourth.
 
Senior Luke Lucido hit a three-pointer to jump-start the Rangers in the fourth, but Plano East held Jesuit to only three shot attempts over the first four minutes of the fourth while building a 52-34 lead with 4:02 remaining. Jesuit's final field goal came with 1:04 remaining in the fourth on a three-pointer by Perryman, and the Panthers shut out the Rangers over the final 41 seconds to finish the contest.
 
The Rangers will play their final road game of the season on Friday against Plano West before finishing the 2019-20 season at Walsh Gym on Tuesday against McKinney Boyd.
