Senior quarterback Howard Fisher IV racked up 193 total yards and four touchdowns, leading Wylie East to a 35-17 victory over McKinney North at McKinney ISD Stadium on Friday night.

The Raiders’ stingy defense complemented Fisher’s performance, helping them surge to an early 21-0 lead. 

McKinney North’s comeback hopes were dashed after a 77-yard touchdown run by junior quarterback Jon Connelly, followed by a final touchdown by Fisher late in the fourth quarter.
