Senior quarterback Marcus Flowers led the Panthers’ offense, completing 7 of 12 passes for 95 yards and a touchdown. His efficient play kept the McKinney defense off balance and allowed Princeton to maintain control throughout the game. Wide receiver Jordan Mosley was a standout performer, catching 11 passes for 163 yards and a touchdown. Mosley also contributed with a 53-yard touchdown pass to Collin Fannin-White, showcasing his versatility and playmaking ability.
