Plano football coach Jim Green has stepped down after 10 years. The coach compiled a 70-38 record and guided the Reapers to back-to-back Class 3A state titles in 2006 and 2007.
Turnover-free host Stillman Valley scored 21 points off three Reaper turnovers -- one interception, two fumbles -- and claimed a 49-28 decision that advances them to the second round next week against the winner of Saturday night’s No. 8 Manteno at No. 1 Rock Island Alleman matchup.
