On February 9, the McKinney North Mustangs celebrated Senior Night in dominant fashion with a 6-0 victory over the Bishop Gorman Crusaders under the lights at McKinney North High School. The Mustangs wasted no time getting on the scoreboard, as senior, Kody Zbranek, found the back of the net in the first minute of play. The offensive surge continued in the 18th minute when senior, Jaxon Dover-Smith, scored, followed just one minute later by a goal from senior, Hudson Clayton. Zbranek added his second goal of the night in the 23rd minute, and senior, Noah Melton, capped off the first-half scoring to give the Mustangs a commanding 5-0 lead at halftime. After a quieter stretch in the second half, Clayton scored again in the 78th minute to secure the 6-0 shutout. The seniors honored during the evening were Grady Rogers, Jaxon Dover-Smith, Hudson Clayton, Noah Melton, Luke Webb, David Graesser, Bradley Giroux, Ben Thomas, Kody Zbranek, Cayden Kerico, Kolton Kuykendall, and Nate Krusing. Reflecting on the night, senior, Luke Webb, said, “I couldn’t have asked for a better senior night. It truly was a night I will remember for the rest of my life.” The Mustangs play next on Thursday, February 12, against Dallas Christian.
