The brackets are set, and the high school football playoffs are about to officially get underway. Thursday marks the beginning of the bi-district round, as teams throughout the area begin vying for the opportunity to compete for a state championship.

Plano's New Blood Transfusion Program Marks A Life-Changing First
F or an 81-year-old Plano man experiencing severe internal bleeding, emergency medical care began long before he reached the hospital.

Plano Fire-Rescue said the early transfusion prevented the patient from going into cardiac arrest, giving hospital staff valuable time to identify and treat the source of his gastrointestinal bleeding.
